I live with my parents so I spent more on everything than at home, but they are all MUCH cheaper than at home. Food, Travel, Nightlife, Overall, Telephone, Housing: was more expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
Under Spanish law, deposits on flats are 1months rent if unfurnished, or 2 if furnished. This means you pay up to 3 months' rent up front, so opening a Spanish account and transferring money ASAP is important. Check how much your bank charges to take out money abroad and to transfer money for foreign accounts. Setting up bank accounts are easy, all you need is your passport and some money to deposit. iberCaja is a great bank (but they are only local.) Santander Central Hispano are good and a very big national bank (and have agreement with RBS back home). This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Housing: My rent was expensive for Spain but still cheap for the UK. Travel: I did more travelling then I do in the UK. (I also had to catch to bus to the engineering school). Bus/train tickets have a more-or-less constant price , in the UK the prices change for singles/returns advance purchases special offers etc. If you are lucky travel can work out cheaper in UK but it is usually more expensive than Spain. Travel: was more expensive than at home. Food, Nightlife, Telephone: was the same price as at home. Overall, Housing: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
You have to buy copies of the lecture notes. The plus side of this is that they are usually have better quality/content/presentation. Buses from Madrid/Barcelona are much cheaper than the train. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

life in Spain is generally fairly cheap, particularly going out, eating out or travel. So even though I went out more and travelled more than I do in my home country I didn't have to spend more. Travel, Nightlife, Overall, Telephone: was the same price as at home. Food, Housing: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
if you want to live cheap look for a flat. Colegios are nice because of the social touch but they are more expensive than sharing a flat is. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal comments:
Try and find a flat with a phone in it or organise a mobile phone in the country, phone boxes do not except incoming calls and using a British mobile abroad would cost a bomb. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

As a general rule Spain is a cheap country to live in. However, you will pay a lot more in Madrid and Barcelona and in the tourist resorts. Mobile phones costs are probably most expensive than at home. The reason i spent more on travel is because i travelled all over Spain, it is such a beatiful and diverse country one has to do it. Generally travel is far cheaper than Ireland, €0.45 for the bus in Zaragoza and €1.30 in my home city- no comparsion! Travel: was more expensive than at home. Telephone: was the same price as at home. Food, Nightlife, Overall, Housing: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
Avoid if at all possible opening a bank account in Spain as you must pay a fee to open it and they are very expensive to run thereafter. One can withdraw money when in Spain from their home bank account but talk to your local bank beforehand. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
