Personal spending habits
In the case of the food, I was living before by my parent´s house. Telephone: I didn´t pay it, I was a spanish telephone system , where the people who receive the calls, pay. Accommodation: it was very cheap, but at home, I didn´t pay it. Travel: I travelled more than when I was in Spain, but in this case, I was travelling with the Uni ( cheap trips ), or by train at the weekends ( it was cheaper travelling weekend ). In Spain I was making big trips, and more expensives, so maybe not every weekend, cause I could spend in a month, travelling every weekend, the same as I could spend in Spain travelling for a week pro year.

I wish I had known...
I knew only the number of the population . It was a small town, I knew somebody close from the town, and she said it was a really nice place. I read something about the town.

Course recommendations
The course has to have to be interested for the student, I mean, don´t choose a course just cause other people do it. Choose the right one, even if you have to be the only Erasmus student in the class!!!
