What is it like to live in Luxembourg? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

Living in Luxembourg is like living in a whole country, everything is close to you. You can go to visit France, Belgium or Germany very quickly as well. I would truly recommend it because it's like a transnational country, there is plenty of languages and cultures.

The Student Association is very important in student life.

How much does it cost to live in Luxembourg?

Live in an apartment alone costs around 1000€/month, but like most of the students, you can stay in a university room (it's about 400€/month). The university's résidences are very modern, clean and enjoyable.

I advise you to contact the university to ask them for a university room because it would be a lot easier for you and first of all you would meet many people in your residence.
