English version
Students in Germany often do not have much money. But they have to spend a large part of their money on housing.
Some students no longer live with their parents. They live in their own apartment or in a room. They pay money for rent every month. They also pay money for heating, electricity, and water. These costs are called utility costs.
These students receive money every month. They work or receive money from their parents. This is their available income. On average, they pay 54 percent of this income for housing. That is more than half of their money.
Therefore, many students have big problems with money. They are heavily burdened financially. This means: They have great worries. Especially in big cities, rents for students are very high.

English version
Students in Germany have to spend a lot of money on housing. This is a difficult situation for many young people. Those who no longer live with their parents have high costs per month. These students pay an average of 54 percent of their available income for rent and utilities. More than half of their money is gone immediately every month for housing.
Many students are heavily burdened financially by this situation. Because the costs of housing are so high, they have great financial worries. When the rent is so expensive, there is hardly any money left at the end of the month.
Rents for students are extremely high, especially in large cities. Anyone who studies in a big city and no longer lives with their parents has to pay a lot. The costs for rent and utilities are often a huge problem there. On average, these people have to pay 54 percent of their income for housing. This financial burden is very difficult for many students in Germany. They spend most of their money on their apartment.

English version
Students in Germany currently spend a very large part of their monthly money on housing. For many young people, the financial situation during their education at a university is a very big challenge. Money is often tight, and the costs for one's own accommodation are constantly rising.
Those who no longer live with their own parents are particularly affected by this development. This group of students pays on average exactly 54 percent of their available income for rent and additional costs. This means that more than half of the monthly available money must be spent directly on housing. Only a small part of the income remains for the entire rest of the cost of living.
Due to this extremely high financial burden, many students are severely restricted in their daily lives. They have to save heavily on many other expenses, such as for food, clothing, or books. The constant worry about paying the rent is a heavy burden for many young people. This worry can also make successful studying more difficult.
The situation is particularly difficult in the large cities of the country. In these metropolises, rents for students are especially high. The housing market in major cities hardly offers any affordable living space for young people with a low income. Therefore, students in metropolitan areas often have to pay an even larger share of their money for a simple room.
In summary, it can be said that housing for students in Germany has become a central financial problem. The high costs place a massive burden on the students' budget. This is especially true if they no longer live in their parental home.
