Personal spending habits
Food and eating were not important to me. I saved my money for a good night out on Friday and Saturday. I rarely used the phone and called collect to the states. My accomodation was cheap because I had so many roommates and paid for up front. Nightlife and travel was were I spent most of my money. While living on the British Isles I travelled to the continent of Europe quite a bit.

OverallA wide variety of courses on offer, with some fantastic teachers. It's just a shame that the university doesn't care about it's students or teachers as much as it should. A large proportion of the student population is from abroad, so it is really interesting to meet so many new people and to hear about their experiences. I've really enjoyed my time here so far.

The pound is much stronger than the dollar so that affected it. Also, I didnt have a car there so the train was my main transportation for traveling which I dont do here.

Lidl. Its up on Nicholson and is the best supermarket you could ask for. Go there for all your grocery needs first and then if you are still missing some items go to Tesco.
