Yes, you can make a strong case to your parents that studying in Germany is affordable and a wise investment.

- No tuition fees at most public universities; you only pay a semester contribution (typically €150 - 350/semester).
- Living expenses are about €850 - 1,200/month, including accommodation, food, and insurance.
- Visa requires showing about €11,904/year in a blocked account for living costs (refundable).
- Part-time work is allowed (up to 120 full or 240 half days/year), which can help cover expenses.
- Degrees from Germany are globally respected, boosting your career prospects.

Prepare a clear budget and explain the long-term benefits to address their concerns.
