I spent so much more on accommodation in Utrecht than I do in the US. I traveled quite a bit, and of course that adds up to a lot of money. Food is about the same, at markets they are usually less.

Course recommendations
The courses are pretty intensive and the time for learning and understanding the study material pretty short, so one needs to prepare himself solid every week for that matter.
