I had to buy my own food while studying abroad because meals were not included in my university housing agreement. I obtained a cell phone and just purchased $20 whenever I needed to. Housing is much cheaper than at my home university. Alcohol and taxis made for an expensive nightlife. I travelled more in Australia than I do in the States, but I found it a lot easier and cheaper to travel around Australia.
