Personal comments
If you opt to stay out of Erasmus International House and request for a cheaper accomodation you save quite a bit. For travel, if you planb carefully by using flights like Ryanair and easyjet it can be very cheap. As the university id close, you can mostly walk or take a bicycle which you can buy second hand and sell it off before you go.

Overall
As an economics student you have to be ready to deal with a heavy workload and additionally have to expect there to be mathematics in every course you take. The teacher give minimal support, but frequently they do reply to emails.
