AFAIK there are also PhD courses here that actually deserve to be called a course. ;) He has to do an oral defence, although I think that's pretty much a piece of cake compared to the work he has to spend on his thesis first.
I think many German universities have free public transport included in the student fees, but I'm not sure. And opera is more affordable here than it is apparently in Europe, but still not cheap as such. As for rent, it really depends on where you are: there are cities like Berlin (ridiculously cheap for a capital) and cities like Munich (ridiculously expensive), and everything in between. As for the stipends, you have to apply for them, and there aren't that many. Also, I have no idea how that works for non-German students.
I'll send an e-mail to him and ask him. I hope he'll reply soon, because often he doesn't. ;)
