it was great as I only spoke German everyday and it improved so much, I began to get way more confident speaking it. Of course my grammar wasn't always perfect but I was still confident.

EXPENSES    
The accessibility of student needs
Second-hand text books
KEY:
Very easy.
Minimal effort.
Accessible but required effort.
Almost impossible.
Second-hand household items
Computers / Internet
Administrative
Money from home
Main source of funding:
Family
Other sources of funding:
An ERASMUS grant
Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options
Personal spending habits:
Food was great because it was slightly cheaper than Ireland but to eat out was sometimes expensive enough, my telephone did cost a fortune because I was trying my best to stay in touch with friends from home. I also did quite a bit of travelling around Germany so that was quite pricy and also the cost of flights to Ireland at Christmas and holidays.
Travel, Telephone: was more expensive than at home.
Food, Nightlife, Overall: was the same price as at home.
Housing: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
It is vital to save as much as you can before doing Erasmus as it was definitely my most expensive university year so far
