Personal spending habits
The main factors, which were responsible for the unusual higher costs i had to take in account were the very high housing expenses, the traveling and the nightlife. I usually don't go out so often in my home town as I did in Utrecht. This is partly because of the many partys, which were arranged for the international students und in part because of the all new people I got to know in Utrecht. We also did some traveling - for instance we went once to Paris and so on. Of course all these activities were linked with spending more money than I usually do when I am in my hometown.

Travel all that you can. Just a note, if you go to Ireland, have a stamp affixed to your ISIC card (it costs 8 Irish pounds) at a USIT agency. It will save you 50% on all public transportation!

Course recommendations
I was doing a research project as a part of the Plant Biology master, so I can not give any advice of courses. About my experience in this kind of program, I'm really satisfied about teacher attention and for all the facilites. I really learnt having a lot of fun at the same time.

Befor leaving your home, ask yourself what you want to find abroad, and once you are back, try to answer what have you learned, and if the answer are found (or the questions changed).
