Cost of living
Nov 11, 2010
The cost of living in Amsterdam is modest compared with cities like New York, London, Paris and Beijing. Experience has shown that students living and studying in Holland for one year spend between 700 and 1,000 Euros a month. If you have an average student income from a scholarship for example, you will find that one-third of it will go towards housing. Food might take another third. Fortunately, most higher education institutions offer hot meals at reasonable prices. Many cities have pubs (eetcafes) where you can eat cheaply and well. But the cheapest way to eat is to do your own cooking. The remaining third of your money will go towards books, travel and other expenses.
