It's very difficult to find a room, so it's better to go there at least a month before, in order to arrange a good accomodation.

Very easy.
Minimal effort.

Administrative
Money from home
Main source of funding:
Other
Other sources of funding:
Family
An ERASMUS grant
Work opportunities:
I didn't want/need to work
Personal spending habits:
I spend more because the cost of life is higher than in Italy and because there're more chances to travel and to go out. The accomodation in Heidelberg is also particularly expensive.
Travel, Nightlife, Overall, Housing: was more expensive than at home.
Food, Telephone: was the same price as at home.
Personal comments:
If you get there at least a month before the beginnig of the courses, you have more chances to find a good room, not so expensive as the ones you can find in October.
