Personal comments
I have yet to try lots of places. But I would say Tamsta Club is a quite unique place, and Sole Luna is a cozzy place too. I hope I'll find more in the coming months.

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
The people, the conversations, the simles, the friends. All things you can't get living alone in a apartment. The ambient was awsome. Culturally and personally living in a dormitory is a unique experience, and one we can only learn a lot from.

Personal comments
The conditions were not the ideal, but as long we have clean space, hot water, a kitchen and a bed I'm don't really care.

An ERASMUS grant
Other sources of funding:
Family
Personal savings
Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options
Personal spending habits
I had to use the oportunity of being in this side of Europe to visit every place I could, and otherwise would be to expensive to go to. The telephone was just more expensive because calling back home is always more expensive, no more calls than usually at my country. The nightlife and housing was quite cheap comparing to my country, but the nightlife rythim was more intensive than back at home probably.

Personal comments
Don't spend your money on a good flat if you're not too wealthy. This experience is made for us to go out, adventure ourselves in a new world, not to stay at home.
