Monthly budget estimate for students in Geneva

___________________________________________________________________

Rent: CHF 500 1000


Monthly rental charges vary widely in Geneva, both in private accommodation and
the various student residences. At the Graduate Institute Student House, single
rents range from CHF 650 to 1,050 per month.
Food: CHF 400 - 600
Savings can be made by shopping at discount supermarkets or seeking the best
deals for food. Eating out in Geneva can be expensive and weigh heavily on a
limited budget. Students benefit from a permanent 10% reduction at the cafeteria on
the Maison de la paix campus.
Public transport: CHF 49 - 73
Public transport costs vary depending on age (students under 24 qualify for lower
rates) and location (Geneva only or including suburban tariff zones). Year-long
subscriptions are more budget efficient if used over 12 months. Daily and weekly
passes are also available. You can see the various options

Health insurance, if not covered by your home insurance: approx. CHF 100
Most student health insurance plans cost around CHF 100. Cost factors might
include the annual deductible amount (not covered), non-mandatory options for
additional coverage and a choice of private or semi-private hospital options.
Mobile phone: approx. CHF 30
Most students decide to purchase either a prepaid or monthly cell phone plan. In
addition to the one-time cost of buying a phone, which can range between CHF 0 300 depending on the type of contract, brand and model, most students pay around
CHF 30 per month for standard cell phone service.
Other costs: CHF 200+
In general, you will need to plan for additional costs which may include day trips,
going out with friends, shopping and unpredictable expenses. Note that like most
other budget items, this cost is variable depending on your financial ability and
circumstances.

Total monthly cost: CHF 1,280 2,000
