Due to the German public education system, SRH North Rhine-Westphalia typically charges higher tuition than the University of Cologne, a public university that charges little to free tuition for overseas students. Nonetheless, some students may find that SRH's private, practice-focused curriculum, smaller class groups, and individualised attention make up for the higher tuition. Furthermore, living expenses (housing, food, and travel) in North Rhine-Westphalia are similar to those in Cologne. The decision between the two schools may ultimately come down to personal preferences for price, curriculum, and campus life.
