Yes, you can manage both financially and socially while studying in Germany with proper planning.

- Living expenses typically range from €850 - €1,200/month, covering accommodation, food, transport, health insurance, and personal costs.
- Part-time work is allowed for non-EU students (up to 140 full days or 280 half days per year), which can help with expenses but should be balanced with studies.
- Social integration is supported by vibrant student communities, shared housing, university clubs, and local events.
- Learning German is helpful for deeper social connections, though many people speak English.
