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.

rents were in general more expensive in the netherlands than in germany. didnt travel that much in germany, so i necessarily spent more money on that when i was on exchange since i visited some cities like brussels or amsterdam.

The reasons were mainly related to different price levels than at home. Of course I travelled more than usually.

The only thing I don't like is the telephone costs in Netherlands. It's too expensive for such a small country

Banks suck in Holland. I had no cash for 3 weeks because nobody in the banks could help me. I had to ask for money order from home and it cost me a lot.
Phone bills will be available 2 months later only. Was astonished with such kind of service.
