It was not legal for me to work
Personal spending habits
Chinese food is cheaper than food at home. Besides, long distance calls cost a lot and Accomodation was a two-people room so rather cheap. Nightlife accounted for a lot of my expenses, but not really more than at home. Lastly, there were more interesting opportunities to travel than usually at home.

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
Because the campus is a great site and the appartments are pretty good there. Although, the same standard offered are usually out-priced downtown.

Personal comments
I think it's not worth paying for the very expensive apartments. I also advise against living in a bunk bed room as I did as the space is really small. A double room is pretty ok.
