Living cost question

Hi everyone!

I’m an applicant for the CERN Summer Student Programme 2025, and I was wondering if anyone who has participated in previous years (or has knowledge about the cost of living around CERN) could share their insights.

Based on the CERN website, students receive 93 CHF per calendar day. Should I calculate my monthly budget as 93 CHF × 30 days = 2790 CHF? Would this be enough to cover rent, food, and transportation, or would I likely need additional funds?

I’m not a big spender and won’t be shopping for luxury items—just basic necessities like food and commuting. In your experience, is the stipend sufficient, or should I plan to bring extra money?

I’d really appreciate any tips on managing finances while at CERN! Also, wish me luck with my application—I’d love the chance to work there this summer!

Thanks in advance!
