hmmm... a students residence is more expensive, but one can meet many local people. A flat is cheaper and one is more independent.

Personal spending habits
mobile phone is terribly expensive, food you can get cheap if you compare the prices well. there are many no-brand products that offer a good quality for a low price. however, some supermarket's brands are good in juice&water (e.g. arbol), others in other stuff (e.g. froiz in bread), you should check the competing products. quite different qualities.
