Germany is generally more affordable than Denmark for international students.

- Germany: Typical monthly living expenses range from €800 to €1,440. Student dormitories cost €250 - €400/month, shared apartments €350 - €750, and private apartments €700 - €1,200+. Groceries are about €150 - €250/month. Public transport passes are €30 - €58/month.

- Denmark: Monthly expenses are usually DKK 4,500 - 5,500 (about ₹62,100 - ₹75,900). Student dormitories cost DKK 2,500 - 4,500/month, while private apartments in cities like Copenhagen can be DKK 6,000 - 10,000/month. Groceries are DKK 1,500 - 2,500/month, and public transport passes are DKK 430 - 500/month.

Actual costs depend on the city and your lifestyle.
