As an anecdote, i live on €6000 in Munich. It's definitely the minimum, but possible when living in university accommodation & and cooking your own food.

Ditto. I studied for about €500 per month all expenses included in both Belgium and France. This was between 2007 and 2012. You can't live big, but I ate healthy, never skipped a beer/wine or had to make extra money.

Impressive :-)

Actually I started out with 500€/month in Munich, but that was 22 years ago. And I ended up doing side jobs. Prices must have gotten up since then.
