- Living expenses: $1,500 - $2,800/month (includes accommodation, food, transport, insurance, and other costs)

Europe (varies by country):
- Germany: No tuition at most public universities; semester contribution €100 - €400; living expenses €850 - €1,200/month
- Sweden: Tuition SEK 80,000 - 190,000/year; living expenses SEK 8,000 - 12,000/month
