One-off costs
As an exchange student you do not pay course fees. But you must pay the semester fee (around €200 - you can find out precisely here). This enables you to pay reduced prices in the cafeteria (mensa) and you can use public transport in Weimar, Erfurt, Jena and Gera free of charge, including the regional trains between the towns. The student ID ("thoska”) also costs a one-off issue fee of €20.

Jobs for students
Weimar is a small town with very few jobs for students. International students compete with local ones for these jobs. You have to speak German very well to have a chance. Please assume that it is not possible to finance all of your living costs from a part-time job. It is even more difficult during short stays (1 semester).
