Living costs in Murcia are a student’s paradise

The South of Spain offers much and requests little. Living costs are very low and a good argument for a study in Murcia. You can not only sit at home and go to the university. Some people like also to go out for a cocktail, would like to try out the local tapas bars or watch a movie in the cinema. But it all costs money. Students usually don’t have a lot of it. And in that case, Murcia could be an interesting alternative for people with a low budget. In comparison with the bigger cities in Spain like Madrid or Barcelona, the city of Murcia offers quite moderate prices for everyone. To name a few, I checked the recent prices in January 2018 online:

Living costs for students in Murcia

• 1 liter (1 qt.) of whole fat milk €0.72
• 1 bottle of red table wine, good quality
• 2 liters of coca-cola €1.54
• Monthly rent for 85 m2 (900 Sqft) furnished accommodation in NORMAL area €594
• Internet 8 Mbps (1 month) €21
• Hourly rate for cleaning help €10
• 1 liter (1/4 gallon) of gas €1.15
• Standard men’s haircut in expat area of the city €13
• 2 tickets to the movies €14
• 1 month of gym membership in business district €40
• 1 beer in neighborhood pub (500ml or 1pt.) €3.07

And I must say, that these prices should only be seen as an indication. Either the prices raised within the last years pretty much, or the people who inserted them simply don’t know how to live economically. As far as I remember, I paid for my haircut only €5, for my monthly gym membership less than €30 a month and for a liter of beer only €2.

And a real man doesn’t need more to survive anyway.
