Rent and tuition fees are often mentioned. \u201cI get 440 euros a month, about the same as my rent,\u201d says Jules Hauser, who is doing the premaster Economics &amp; Business Economics. His grant goes towards his rent. Despite the basic grant, he keeps his side job. He is not the only one: many students have a job alongside their studies. They sometimes cut back their hours, though: \u201cI used to work 20 hours a week,\u201d says criminology student Quinty van Ommen. \u201cBecause of the basic grant, I can now work fewer hours.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Much difference<\/h2><p>Not everyone is satisfied with the new situation. Law student Oualid Hamdoune doesn\u2019t notice much difference between studying without or with the grant. \u201cThe 100 euros I get don\u2019t matter much, especially now that everything has become more expensive,\u201d he says. Elke Schaa, who is doing a premaster Media Studies, is left out. \u201cBecause I\u2019ve studied in a university for applied sciences for four years, I am now only eligible to the basic grant for one month\u201d, she says.<\/p>\n<p>Opinions on the grant diverge. For some students, it takes away stress about money, for others it doesn\u2019t seem to help much. Thor Hogerbrugge, Economics &amp; Tax Law student, responds laconically. He doesn\u2019t notice much difference, except that he now has a bit more to spend. Free money, right? \u201cYes,\u201d he agrees, \u201cthat\u2019s actually exactly what it comes down to.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t<div data-name=\"acf\/persons\" class=\"mt-6 md:mt-8 lg:mt-10\"
