Expenses

Main source of funding:

Family

Other sources of funding:

Personal savings<br> An ERASMUS grant

Work opportunities:

I didn't explore any work options

Personal spending habits

Night life and alcohol in Norway are really expensive, but for non drinkers like me water is available, cold and free!! Housing and food are expensive compared to Spain, but buying together with other people lowers the cost a lot...and allows better meals to be prepared!!

Housing, Food, Overall, Travel:

was more expensive than at home.

Telephone, Nightlife:

was the same price as at home.

Accessibility of student needs

Second-hand text books

Second-hand household items

Computers / Internet

Administrative

Money from home

Personal comments

Credit and debit cards from home worked sometimes, at university without problems, but in some cash dispensers problems appeared. Check with your bank the highest amount you can get with a card, to minimize the cost of it. Almost no offices of foreign banks.

I had in mind that, though lectures and works would be in English, I wouldn't learn much. I was wrong, since I improved in some ways, regarding vocabulary for instance but mostly in my general understanding of English.
