Living at 250€/month in Frankfurt | Cubity | Student housing

Did you know that, you could rent a room in Frankfurt for just 250€/month? Yes, what you heard is true; a student pilot project "Cubity" is in place for revolutionising the housing by cutting down space, energy consumption and rent costs.  Cubity is a joint project at Frankfurt-Niederrad as a part of the "Home: Building and Living in Community" pilot project, which is jointly implemented by the Department of Integrated Urban Development and the German Architecture Museum and funded by the BMUB within the framework of the National Urban Development Policy.

FREE EDUCATION IN GERMANY!!

Yes!! You heard it right, doing Masters in Germany is mostly free of cost. It is not fully free of cost, but comparatively it is very less than doing Bachelors in most of the countries. As a student, you many have to pay around 300 euros per semester.   In the recent years, Germany has made its education, free of cost. You may ask, how does Germany manage to provide free education, it is very simple. In Germany the people agree to pay high taxes, which they get back as very good services from the government. And moreover, Germany has a lower percentage of students opting for college, contrary to countries like America or India. In fact, from long back, there had been no tuition fees in Germany, but there are still some universities collecting a small amount of fees as a process to speed up the process of completing the degree.  WHY GERMANY? To your surprise, there are other countries like Denmark, Finland, Sweden and some Northern European countries, who provide ...
