Personal spending habits
Housing is very expensive in Bologna, especially if you live in a single room, like I did. Food is cheaper in Italy and better quality. To use the phone always cost more money than at home because you are charged by the minute. Travel is cheaper because everyone usually travels by train or bus.

Personal comments
Be tight with your money. It can go really fast in a city like Bologna which has so much stuff to offer. Make a budget and stick to it. Then if you have money left over at the end, take a trip.
