Living in a city means the cost of going out etc is going to be higher. Ringing home costs a lot more! I travelled most of Spain in the year so that was a big expense. Spain is generally very much cheaper than England but the volume of things adds up.

Cost-saving tip...open a bank account in the host country and transaction costs are very much reduced. An 'abono' for transport is also very handy.
I spant more because in Athens I live with my parents!

For the telephone category, I am referring to mobile phones and the reason that was more than at home is because the plan was different...and more expensive.
REVIEWS BY INTERNS AT Universidad Carlos III de Madrid
Enriquecedora
Son unas prácticas muy enriquecedoras, ya que te enseñan todas las labores y ejerces al igual que las personas fijas de la empresa, con el mismo volumen de trabajo y la misma exigencia. Además, te rodeas de gente que llevas viendo toda la vida en la TV que intentan ayudarte y conocerte.
Pequena visión
No puede realizar muchas tareas a cabo y tampoco tuve muy buenas tutoras.
Muy buena experiencia
Muy útil para aprender inglés, conocer el negocio de los fondos de inversión y sus gestoras, y mejorar el trato con clientes.
