Universidad de Salamanca (USAL)

Food, accommodation and alcohol is cheaper than in my country, and there are e.g. no entry fees to bars. I used my finnish mobile phone, so I don't know about the tarrifs. It is quite expensive to open an account, which you can do for free in my home country. It is difficult to evaluate the traveling costs, I never use the public transportation in my country as I have a car. But of course, when you go abroad you travel a lot and thus spend a lot!

Food was less expensive in Spain than in Ireland. Mobile phones are more expensive to use in Spain. However, I used skpye, to phone landlines in UK at local rate, or also, there is the possibility to phone another skype contact and talk for unlimited time, free. The accommodation I stayed in was approximately equivilant of what I pay in Ireland. However, this seems to have been more expensive than the normal accommodaion in Spain, due to location and such factors. Spanish nightlife was cheaper in general. I spent more on Travel in Spain, as I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get to know the country. Also, I very much enjoyed travelling with the mountaineering group as it was a great means of socialising with Spaniards.

You have to pay for services that are free or cheap at home, like laundry and internet. The food is much cheaper in Spain than the US, and the clubs had no cover charge, so going out was cheap. I traveled more than I do at home, so it was more expensive.

i spent more for my room, because i had chosen one, which was a bit mor expensive for convinient reasons. the going out area is much mor cheaper than in germany, especially you dont have to pay theentrance mostly. i did not travel a lot, for luck of money, but in comparison with germany, there are no possibility to tavel with spanish people. in germany already exist several organized pages(probably most known:www.mitfahrzentrale.de, where people offer possibilities to travel with from city to city, or they offer to come with somebody

Food expense was included in my rent and so I was provided room & food everyday of the week for 129euro. Using a cell phone there was more expensive because i used a SIM card (prepaid card) instead of having yearly plans like in the United States. Airflights within Europe are offered at much cheaper prices than in the U.S. The nightlife in Salamanca is considerably longer, which caused me to spend more money (and the exchange rate).

Housing because I lived at home at the time but when I studied abroad I had to pay for my own housing
