Yes, Munich is generally more expensive than Berlin for students.
- Living expenses: Munich €1,100 - €1,400/month; Berlin €900 - €1,100/month (subject to change)
- Accommodation: Munich €580 - €750/month; Berlin €420 - €550/month

- Transportation: Both cities €80 - €100/month

Munich’s higher costs are partly balanced by better part-time wages and industry connections.
