being new to an area means you want to discover new places and try new things, which results in spending more, it was worth it though, it's all part of learning the culture. Food, Nightlife, Overall, Telephone, Housing: was more expensive than at home. Travel: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
cost saving tips for train travel, use www.trenok.it, for travelling to other countries use ryanair, booking enough in advance can mean amazing savings (I went to Sardinia for 20 euros from Pisa!). Go to restaurants and try their local foods, its a great way of learning new words and taking in a bit of culture too, eating out is not as pricey as the UK either, so, sometimes it's cheaper to eat out than go to the supermarket and cook yourself!

Serious question??! Florence is a very expensive city (10 000 lire/drink) but I didn't mind because I had the time of my life - actually, I'm going back to Fi in October 2001. I came back broke but rich in experience... Food, Travel, Nightlife, Overall, Telephone, Housing: was more expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
Eat in Via San Gallo, Via del Romito (nice "mensa"!), get to know Mario (smile), buy a used bike (public transport is an adventure anyway), almost all bars have "happy hours", many free concerts in the Cascine in summer, great market in the Cascine once a week.

Because nightlife is expensensive (eg drinks, dinners). Rent is more expensive than at home, unless you share a bedroom. Food, Travel: was the same price as at home. Nightlife, Overall, Telephone, Housing: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
The commission paid to an 'agency' when we found a place to rent. It was equal to one month's rent. Phonecalls home were okay because I used a Telecard linked to my home phone bill. Internet access wasn't too bad especially if you bought a few hours all at once. Get a 'biglietto chilometrico' for train travel. MUCH cheaper than buying tickets for every trip, if you don't mind normal (ie not Eurostar) trains. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Food is cheaper in Italy everywhere you go and it tastes better for the price. Telephones are so expensive because you have to buy pre-paid cards and Americans for sure have trouble at first counting and monitoring the minutes. They end up spending a lot of money at first because we are unsed to unlimited minutes on a plan. Travel was cheaper all over europe. It was amazing. Telephone: was more expensive than at home. Nightlife: was the same price as at home. Food, Travel, Overall, Housing: was less expensive than at home.
