Personal comments
Well, it is pretty difficult to find accommodation in Nijmegen, so it is also very hard for the university. Sometimes is far away, and you have a lot of work to find something better.

After 2 weeks you get used to speak in English and there is no problem. The common language in The Netherlands is Dutch, but everybody speaks English, even the most old woman in the street, really.

Personal spending habits
Food is cheap in ALDI. I spent more in the other categories, because I pay nothing for my place in Spain, I went out everyday so that's a lot of money, and I travelled a lot as well.

Final comments
The only place I have been an erasmus student is in Nijmegen, but I definately know is the best place to go as an Erasmus. Students city, use of bikes, so you do not depend on buses, quite big, but not small arroung 140.000 inhabitants, so you can go from one place to another with a few minutes
