Personal spending habits
Food is in general cheaper than in Austria. of course your phone bill is higher if you talk to your family and friends at home. nightlife is cheaper than in Vienna, but if you go out at least 3 times a week you spend a lot.
As I didn´t want to set something aside and the time during erasmus is so intensive, it happens that you squander money!
