As students, we want to enjoy life, but at the same time, we need to make sure we have enough money to survive and study at the same time. If you are going to be a student in Namibia, it’s important to understand how much pocket money you will need monthly so you can plan your life and spend your money wisely. This article explains everything you need to know about pocket money as a student in Namibia. Let’s dive in!

What’s the cost of living in Namibia?

Namibia is one of Africa’s leading tourist destinations, but it still has a relatively low cost of living. Compared to the US, for example, the country’s GDP per capita is only $5,000. However, this doesn’t mean that there are no costs at all. Students are expected to pay their own tuition fees (although they can apply for scholarships or loans) and might need to provide their own accommodation if they do not live on campus.

How much does a university student need to cover their costs?

A lot of factors go into the amount of pocket money a university student needs. The most important thing to know is how much it costs to cover your living expenses. Costs vary depending on what city you live in and which institution you attend, but generally speaking, it’s safe to assume that you’ll need at least N$3000 per month.
