Personal spending habits
Housing in Germany seemed to be generally more expensive and it being my first time in Europe I wanted to travel more. I spent less on food because there is a wider variety which enabled me to save more.

was less expensive than at home.
Accessibility of student needs
Second-hand household items
Personal comments
Some food groups were surprisingly affordable, that is where most of my cost savings came from. Tip: it is better to buy supermarket brand food and to travel in groups to save on gas or get group discounts on tickets.

Final comments
It is better to travel in groups as you can group discounts, and when going to other countries it is sometimes to fly but to book a flight early to get the best discount.
When one goes on exchange, they should take every opportunity to learn the local language, it is one of the best investments one can make.

Housing
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
An apartment gives you the freedom to stay in at work without worrying about disturbing anyone, in addition you have time to study or work at home when required so.

Personal comments
There was no University housing at the European Business School, students only stayed in flats. The flats themselves were very comfortable with good facilities.
