Personal spending habits:
At home housing is on campus and many of the expenses (telephone, and food) are included in the general room and board payment, which overall was a bit less then paying separately for everything in Germany. With travel, I do not travel much during the semester, however while I was in Europe I wanted to take advantage of quicker travel (shorter distances and more developed public transportation systems) in order to see as much as I could. Finally, at home I pay with the Dollar, which was (and still is)doing a bit poorly compared to the Euro so my expenses were a bit higher due to that factor.
Travel, Nightlife, Overall, Telephone: was more expensive than at home.
Housing: was the same price as at home.
