- Germany (public universities): Most charge no tuition; expect a semester fee of €150 - €400. Living expenses are about €900 - €1,200/month. You must show proof of funds around €11,904/year for your visa. Private universities cost €5,000 - €20,000/year.

- Italy: Public university tuition for non-EU students is €900 - €4,000/year; private universities are €6,000 - €20,000/year. Living costs average €800 - €1,200/month.
