The best trip I did was over thanksgiving: With a group of international students we rent vans and went to discover the Niagara Falls, Toronto and Montreal. With enterprise.com you get good deals for the van, and on hostels.com you find cheap places to stay! Read Review

Main source of funding:
Family
Other sources of funding:
Didn't have to pay tuition at host university.
Work opportunities:
I didn't want/need to work
Personal spending habits:
Eating out is very cheap but rather unhealthy. As soon as you want to buy fresh fruit and vegetables, everything gets expensive though. Calling is cheap using skype or similar services, but mobile phone contracts are far more expensive than the european average.
Travel, Overall: was more expensive than at home.
Food, Telephone, Housing: was the same price as at home.
Nightlife: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
The university ID let's you use all public transportation for free. The cheapest way of travelling is using the Greyhound bus service, or JetBlue.com for cheap flights. The school offers some trips around Thanksgiving and Spring break.
