I would like to know, how much these prices have changed since this list was created – did they increase or decrease?
danel January 13, 2011 at 5:43 PM: no, it’s almost the same ;-)
for a student it could be about 200-500 euro ;-) depends on your lifestyle
definitely worth staying for a while of forever :-))
