Buy trips back home in advance.
Before you travel check the promotions both in train and in airplane.
Dont make a phone or internet contract: pre payd always!!!
Dont live like if you are a tourist, no one is a tourist for a year.

Personal comments
Best cafe and restaurant near the LMU is CafeAnDerUni (CADU). Reasonable prises and good food. If you come to Munich, don't miss Oktoberfest, the craziest festival in the world. If you really like to dance, go to KunstparkOst, but the funniest disco in the city must be SoulCity...

New friends and new city: Nightlife!! Also lunch or dinner in a restaurant was much more usual abroad than back home.
Short distances to see Europe: Travel!!
Expensive calls to Finland was the reason, why telephone bills were a lot smaller than back home!
Food is quite the same price as back home.

Since I lived quite far away from the city, I had to use quite a lot of money in local traffic... I have no cost-saving tips. You only live once :)
