Which country would you suggest for studying abroad considering inflation and budget?
Germany is generally the better choice for studying abroad when considering inflation and budget. Most public universities in Germany have very low or no tuition fees, and living expenses are moderate, with total costs over two years typically between €25,000 - €33,000. In contrast, studying in the USA can cost $85,000 - $200,000 for two years due to high tuition and living expenses.
Germany’s cost structure is more stable, and the mandatory blocked account helps you plan finances predictably. If budget and inflation impact are your main concerns, Germany is the more cost-effective and manageable option.
