Expenses
Main source of funding:

Personal savings<br>
A private grant
Work opportunities:
I worked, but it was illegal/cash in hand work
Personal spending habits
Cooking possiblities in the halls are not great. Therefore, you always go out and eat. Even small restaurants become expensive on a regular basis. The cantines of the university might be cheap, but you do get fed up with them quite quickly. Prices whether it is alcohol or food....everything is just more exepensive except for electronics.
