Personal spending habits:
The food is a LOT cheaper, but then again you eat out several times a day. When it comes to phone bills, you call overseas once in a while but it does not eat up your expense account (check out with different companies on overseas deals!). Rnet a room in an appartment it is almost the same price as on-campus accommodations. The nightlife in DeKalb is extremly cheap even for US standards, $1.5 - $3 drinks especially at Molly's. Traveling is expensive where ever you go, especially in the US!
Travel: was more expensive than at home.
Overall, Telephone: was the same price as at home.
Food, Nightlife, Housing: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
Don't screw with the banks or they will charge you with sky high fees.
