University of St Andrews

Life is more expensive in Great Britain than in Spain, you can find bargains and good offers for students , but mainly in travelling

The telephone is pretty self explanatory when one's schoolfriends are scattered around after many years as a tight-knit group. As mentioned above, accomodation was downright cheap at the time I was there. (I understand that the presence of Prince William has led to an increase in rents, however, so it might be wise for those on a budget to plump for University accomodation. The exclusively student housing in Fife Park and Albany Park (Gannochy) are particularly good value for money.

Because everything in the UK is more expensive than in Italy. I saved on phone calls just because my family called me!

Just because of the exchange rate, it is very expensive to live in the UK, but very worth it!

Travel, obviously requires more money than when one is based at "home." When abroad, one wants to "try everything": food, drink, night life, etc.

Price index difference. Easy access to my interested destination.
