Personal spending habits
The thing is the prices of food (restaurant or home made)are lower in Spain than in France. It is the same for clothes, alcohol in bars, entries of discos, museums...That's why I used to do more things in Spain than in France so it compensates! the only big expense is the accommodation 'cause Madrid is a capital city.

Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I want to be able to live with other students or younger people and I feel that it is more "independent" not to live in a family.
