Personal spending habits
Food is more expensive if you want quality. Telephone because i used it more than at home. Accomodation because in my home university town, accomodation is very expensive, nightlife because drinks and entries are more expensive. Travel, because i don't have a discount card here.

Despite of the rent quite high, the housing was well-located, internet connection was perfect and as exchange students lived there too, the atmosphere was multicultural and enjoyable.

Final comments
All in all, study in the Netherlands is easy for me to travel to other european countries and very good environment to study other european languages like French, German, Spanish etc if you have time.I advice the students try to study as many languages as they can and find part-time jobs constantly to enrich the social experiences.

Personal comments
School had some trouble accomodating other students in need of housing. It turned out OK, but sure needs improvement, although it has nothing to do with the education, but with the housing administration.
