Personal spending habits:
Life is cheaper in Poland than in Mexico. the accommodations were aranged with the price of the courses, and it was very cheap, almost for free, the food is cheap if you like yunk food, like pizza, kebabs, or mcdonald´s, but also if you go to a restaurant is not that expensive, and beer is great and cheap, also the vodka.
Food, Travel, Nightlife, Overall, Telephone, Housing: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
Use public transportation such as buses and the tram if you go by yourself, if you are going back home after a nightclub time, be sure to take a normal taxi, don't get in a fancy car 'cuz they are two or three times more expensive. During the day you can walk, is great sightseeing and safety if you are near downtown.

FINAL COMMENTS

Poland is a great country, is my favorite country from East Europe. Also it has great sights you most visit, first of all Krakow, the most beautiful city in the country, and also places such as the salt mines, the wawel castle, Aushwitz-Birkenau Museum, all around Krakow. Also is the place where you can meet the most beautiful blond girls in the whole world.
