Personal spending habits
food in cheaper supermarkets (Aldi, Lidl) was a lot cheaper than home. I rang home and friends a lot with internaional calling cards but kept mobile only for emergencies. Not sure whether i spent more or less on nightlife. Club entrance and drinking in pubs is about the same price, depends where, but getting 'off-licence' is an awful lot cheaper. Take as much advantage of travel when you are there. Within certain 'zones' with your student ID, travel is free. It is worth it to make the effort to make day/weekend trips as it may be the only chance you get in your life. Tried to be on as much of a budget as possible and in the end was kicking myself that i didn't get a part-time job to support myself as there was plenty of time.
