EXPENSES    
by Ariana, ESADE Business School, Barcelona, Spain
Business Studies, University Agreement
The accessibility of student needs
Second-hand text books
KEY:
Very easy.
Minimal effort.
Accessible but required effort.
Almost impossible.
Second-hand household items
Computers / Internet
Administrative
Money from home
Main source of funding:
A private grant
Other sources of funding:
Family
Personal savings
Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options
Personal spending habits:
Because in general, they were expensiver, and the dollar was very high. FOOD: no choice, we had to eat in expensive places, since we paid for the food at the begining and that those places were specified at the begining. TELEPHONE: I mantained contact with everybody by mail, and the local telephone was free in campus. ACCOMODATION: I took the less expensive, but it was expensiver than being at home, due to the fact that I live with my parents, and that we are a huge family. NIGHTLIFE: that was not very expensive, and I did not had a tremendous nightlife. TRAVEL: this was expensiver because I do not travel that much at home, and that I took my exchange period as an opportunity to visit the country.
Food, Travel, Overall, Housing: was more expensive than at home.
Nightlife: was the same price as at home.
Telephone: was less expensive than at home.

Important to choosing this university...
Academic reasons
KEY:
Very Important.
Important.
Not really important.
Unimportant.
Culture
Costs
Activities
Campus life
Party / people
Weather / Location
I wish I had known...
One needs to be very active to get in contact with the local students, they don't have a very big interest in trying to get to know exchange students
In my opinion:
I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.



During my experience abroad, I ...
Became familiar with another culture
KEY:
Happened all the time.
Happened quite a lot.
Happened a bit.
Didn't happen.
Traveled
Improved language skills
Met people from other countries
Became more independent
Partied a lot
Experienced a change in life
Advanced my studies/career
Personal recommendation:
The university is OK, there are a lot of students in town (I guess they outnumber the people who live in Bton permanently). A lot of faculties, a lot of museums, the campus is quite green and nice looking, a good recreational center for sports. The nightlife could be better.



FINAL COMMENTS

Book your travel well in advance - especially as you have an internal flight to Indy. Those are often fully booked. And by the way, there is a shuttle bus running between Indy airport and the Memorial Union house. Interestingly, there are very, very few taxis in Bloomington. Therefore, many take a limo for getting to Bloomington from the airport!!!
