How much is the cost of living in Utrecht for a grad student?


How much is the cost of living in Utrecht for a grad student?
I am planning to pursue my master degree in Utrecht, the Netherlands, starting in September this year. I wanna know how much does it cost for monthly spending in Utrecht, which includes at the very least, accommodation, food, transportation, etc? In addition, I am not a EEA citizen. Can I have part time job that is decent to help out with the cost of living, and what are the options? Thank you.

It depends, There are certain organizations who can help you to find a (temporary) accomodation anywhere between 200ish and 400ish euro. Appartment will cost you more, about 500-1000 euro a month. Cost of living depends on your lifestyle. Cost of transportation depends on how far you travel. All together if you don`t spend to much on partying, you should be able to make it on a 500-800 euro a month budget. Part time jobs are to be found mostly in cafe`s, restaurants, working at events, call centers, etc. You can get around 10euro an hour for a part time student job (somethimes little more, sometimes little less)
