Student Discounts
The cost of living may not always be the cheapest, but for students there’s usually some sort of discount everywhere. Museums and other cultural institutions such as theaters and concert halls offer special student rates. And with student’s identification, you’re entitled to discounts while travelling with the public transport system. And even at sport centers and swimming pools, students may also qualify for a discount. When in doubt, ask – it costs nothing.
Students are also exempted from paying the German TV and radio license. But first, you must submit a request to the appropriate municipal office, which subsequently decides on your application. Make sure you include the following documents: your student registration certificate, proof of receiving Federal Education and Training Assistance(BAföG), or proof of parental financial support or alternatively your own income.
Travel is also somewhat cheaper for students. The International Student Identity Card (ISIC) is always helpful in this case. It costs around 9 euro and can easily be obtained from the student services associations. The only requirements are a photo and your student registration card. The ISIC allows discounts on package tours, flights and sometimes on accommodation. If you’re under 26, travelling by train is also cheaper. You can obtain information on rates from rail travel counters or on the internet. Anyone who likes travelling will also find a youth hostel pass helpful. This allows you to stay overnight in youth hostels both at home and abroad for a minimal price.
