Food was much more cheaper if you cared about looking for cheapest supermarkets; telephone because i talked everyday with my family and the roaming is not that cheap; nightlife because i went out much more in bordeaux than i do in lisbon; travel i did less because train trips are really expensive in france.

Personal comments
It was great; not luxuous but i had all i needed to be confortable. All my friends were near, the university and the library 2 minutes away; the tram station 1 minute away. Services in the campus were very good: laundry, internet, tv, cofee, gym. The campus staff also great, they were always their to help you solve any problem.
