Personal spending habits
Food, is usually cheaper, like the vegetables and fruits, because most of them are not imported. Telephone, I didn´t use it. Housing, I don´t pay rent (family house). Nightlife, is paid by me not like in Mexico where the gentleman are the ones who pay (most of the time). Travel, is easier to travel in Europe and the countries are really close, so is worth it.

Personal comments
There is an International Housing Office in Groningen, which provides accomodation for foreign students. If you get lucky you get a good room from an International student house. Rents are not cheap in Holland. It's better to live less than 5km from downtown and your faculty.
