Our task was to compare the living situation of the

students and make Campus Europae more

public

The Dossier shall

• bring figures and experiences together

• represent our point of view• give advice• help to introduce Campus Europae

What we looked at:

• Situation at the universities• Caution fees• Costs for Accomodation• Costs for Basic Alimentation• Fees for Internet Access• Prices for Public Transport• Prices for Leisure Activities

Concerning costs:

• Big price gap between Minsk and the rest of Europe

• Price levels in the rest of Europe are pretty balanced

• But big differences still exist

Caution Fees

• No fees in Germany and Luxembourg

• Minsk has the highest tuition fees

• Grants available• There is a need to

discuss• Situation for

exchange students?
