The all-including housing on campus was a little more expensive than the private flat sharing at home. The telephone only ran over phone cards or mobile phone. Nightlife is more expensive, depending on where one is going (hardly any concession for Opera tickets etc.). Travelling on a trip to Central Australia organised by the university was cheaper than travelling individually and a great experience and opportunity to meet other students, local and international.

I spent less because I had the Pound to rely on against the Australian dollar. I had a very good exchange rate.
