Other sources of funding:
Government assistance
Work opportunities:

The supermarkets are all discount shops and the food isn't that exciting.
Telephone was a little bit more expansive because of the regular calls home, and the internet connexion.
Nightlife is very cheap in comparison to france.
All is pretty good organized for students (travel), so there's almost always a way to pay less.
