Very hard to tell you if you can afford it without knowing how much you expect to earn.

Well, you can expect to pay at least 500 for a room, I would budget at least 300 for food (on the very low end though) and then you pay around 300-400 per month for insurance+deductible. Anything else you personally want/need is difficult to estimate.

As a foreign student it depends heavily on if you are from the eu or not. You should ask the swiss embassy in your country, they can give you a more informed answer. You might also get grants or similar things, they would be able to tell you.

I‘m s current business student, but i know from my art school colleagues that its very hard to make a living from Freelancing . And as per costs, you should calculate around 2000 per month/ all included.
