I didn't explore any work options Personal spending habits:
I used pay by the minute instead of a contract for a phone because I was only there for a short period of time and consequently it ended up being more expensive. I had the opportunity to travel throughout Europe and I don't do a lot of traveling at home throughout the school year, so that was more expensive than usual. Travel, Overall, Telephone: was more expensive than at home. Food, Nightlife: was the same price as at home. Housing: was less expensive than at home.
