In the heart of Berlin, the city known for its vibrant student life, the cost of living has been on the rise. Student dormitories, or Studentenwohnheime, typically offer rooms for around 700 euros monthly. However, private 1-room apartments or studios, such as those at Stacey Apartments Mitte, can command rents of 895 euros or more.

While specific student dorms with single rooms above 700 euros are not explicitly listed, it's worth noting that some private single apartments exceed this rent. Interestingly, companies managing the over 1,300 euros per month rooms choose not to show these properties in person.

One such house, capable of accommodating 16 people, has been advertised with a price tag exceeding 250 euros per night, with payment per bunk bed instead of per room. This high cost is a significant barrier for many students, especially those from financially disadvantaged backgrounds.

Sadly, this year has seen the lowest number of financially disadvantaged students in higher education in the past ten years. The high housing prices and overall cost of living in Berlin may be deterring these students from pursuing academic life.

As the city continues to grow and evolve, it's crucial to address these issues and find solutions that ensure Berlin remains accessible to students from all backgrounds. The future of the city's vibrant student community could very well depend on it.
