Estimated Out-of-Pocket Expenses

Additional Notes

• Calculations for Room and Board are calculated based on an average of current dorm rents.
• Students wanting to arrange their own housing should be aware that rents might be far higher than what they’d be paying in a dorm. While dorms vary between 350 - 480 Euros a month with all utilities included, there’s no upper limit for rents charged by private landlords.
• Personal expenses cover some basic necessities (local transportation, cell phone, bank fees, program-sponsored excursions, etc.) and do not include your discretionary spending (e.g. entertainment, fitness, and travel). All fees are subject to change. Exchange rate used: $1 = €1.01.
• We recognize there may be additional expenses related to COVID (required testing, quarantine, etc.), which we will calculate to the best of our ability prior to the program start date.
• Students who reserve dormitories in Mainz will transfer money from their German bank accounts to the School in Germany after onsite arrival (when they will open their bank accounts). Students in Potsdam and Berlin will be paying their rents to dorms from their German bank accounts directly.
• Students who wait and select apartments will transfer their rent from their bank account to their landlord’s account.
