Augsburgs students are cheaper!

At the University of Augsburg for the summer semester 2010, a student currently has to pay only € 566.80 - compared to € 687.00, which a student at Ulm has to pay (for tuition fees, administration charges, student union contribution, "six-months student transit pass" - without a scholarship, siblings scheme ...) - in addition to the usual cost of living.

This set the amounts as follows:

University of Augsburg (€ 566.80):

• € 480.00 tuition fee
• € 86.80 administration charge, student union contribution, "six-months student transit pass"

University of Ulm (€ 678.00):

• € 500.00 tuition fees
• € 40.00 administration charge
• € 62.00 student union contribution
• € 85.00 "six-months student transit pass"

So far, explanations of fellow students are mostly based on the "probably" more extended transit area, which can be accessed with the "six-months student transit pass"...
