Luxembourg students cannot afford housing

To rent a room for a month one needs to pay at least 900 euros per month. That’s the lowest market price. And for many students it’s way too much.

Rooms in a student hostel cost from 450 euros per month. But not everyone gets to live in such a hostel. For example, you need to live more than 100 kilometers away from the university. Yet, even half of this distance is a lot to travel twice daily five times a week.

An affordable solution is to live in a neighboring country. For example, residents of German Trier rent rooms at half the price. But it’s still a long way to go from there. Another option is to rent a room for two.
