They are about 40% less expensive than private apartments and come with Wi-Fi and utilities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don&#8217;t go out to eat regularly; eat at the Mensa (cafeteria). You can get hot, balanced meals for only \u20ac3\u2013\u20ac6.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you work part-time, you need to file a tax return.
