Personal spending habits
The accommodation in my home country I own it! so I just have to pay the regular taxes. The telephone I spend less because I didnt have the need to make a lot of phone calls, just my family and the local calls where very cheap o free in certain areas.
Where I spend more many was in travel because I wanted to visit new cities and to learn more about my host country.And you dont have the opportunity and time to visit another country everyday. Also there was good promotions for travelling so I took advantage of that.

Personal comments
It was a great opportunity to increase my knowledge of english and to interact with locals.To learn more about theirs culture and way of thinking.Because to speak a different language is easy but to make yourself understand in a different language and cultural environment is another thing.

Overall
I wish I had known...
Not really. I liked to learn things through experience. Although I made some research before travelling so I had an idea of where I was going to. Maybe to know that you need time for applying to universities due to the fact that I wanted to finish my studies in the USA.But I have no complains , I'm satisfied with all I did.

Final comments
To make research of the city and the culture of the country you are planning to go. To be open to experience new things and to remember that it is a different counry and culture so if you expect to do what you were doing at home...stay home!
And the most important tip...ENJOY EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Because I know now the city, and where are the good area for living. To enjoy a little bit of privacy. Even though it was living on campus because it gives me the oportunity to meet a lot of new people.
