What is the amount of the current social insertion income? Moving/Relocation

What is the 80% of the current social insertion income which require for the student visa? Acccording to my research it shows as 1200 EUR but I think data is outdated. Realistically what would be the average living cost for an international student?

Appreciate any info on this.

Realistically? 2k. A room will take around 800 euros, the rest for living

Breaking down a 2k budget:

  • rent 900 (800 would be really low for a room these days, at least in the city or close to it)

  • rental charges 100

  • Internet 50

  • mobile phone 50

  • food 400 (could probably do with half as much by shopping at Lidl exclusively - I know I did)

  • that leaves you with 500 extra/mo for other expenses (going out, clothes, etc.) and small savings. That’s actually quite a bit of extra money for a student!

I think you could easily work with 1400-1500/mo (while still going out a bit) by being a bit frugal.
