Expenses
Main source of funding:
An ERASMUS grant
Other sources of funding:
Family
Personal savings
Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options
Personal spending habits
At home, usually there are a few things that are paid by parents, but here i had to do it by myself.
I still live with my parents, so i dont have to pay any rent,which was the most expensive, although it was a very good residence.
