Your cost of living will vary depending on your own lifestyle. In general, the cost of housing is the main expense involved in studying in the Netherlands, due to high demand (and low supply). Some cities are obviously more expensive than others, with Amsterdam being the most expensive.
Experience has shown that students living and studying in the Randstad spend approximately € 1,000 a month. This amount is needed to cover daily expenses, meals, accommodation, insurance, study books, etc. The estimate does not include tuition fees or travel costs and should be used as a general indication of the costs of living in the Netherlands.
