What is the Exchange Student Cost?

Cost of living in Roskilde as an exchange student per month?

• I am going to Roskilde as an erasmus student for 5 months. (Roskilde Business College). I just want to learn about the student housing in Roskilde or in Cophenagen. Can I find a student house easily? What about the rents? I want to know about a one month budget as a student in denmark.

• Answer:

  Depends how big and nice you want the apartment, how much food you eat, what you drink and how much, type of shopping you do, if you want a car or scooter, how much electricity you use, how much you go out and where. There are a LOT of variables, but in general, you can get a room fo 3000 DKK per month, a 1 room apartment for 6000 DKK per month, plus electric, phone, cable, etc. Food from grocery stores 600-1000 DKK per month, depending how much you eat. Transport 350 DKK per month for a card. Pocket money 3000 DKK per month. So minimum 7000 DKK per month if you are willing to economize; 9 or 10,000 DKK per month to live with a little breathing room. I knew an erasmus once. She was always tired. Erasmus B. Draggin, not sure the origin of the surname, Scottish maybe? Best wishes with the erasmus programme.
