Food in Spain is a bit cheaper than in Finland and at times we ate out which is about the same as in Finland. Phone costs were a lot higher than in Finland ( do not make phonecalls, send SMS, sim card costs quite a lot). I paid about 190€/ month for living including all the expenses (gas, electricity, water). When going out I realised Finland is more expensive but some bars in here might have an entrance fee of about 12€ (inlc. one free drink). I spent a lot of time for travelling as it is so cheap to fly to other European countries from heer and also the train in Spain is not very expensive (shorter distancies). Food, Travel, Telephone: was more expensive than at home. Overall: was the same price as at home. Nightlife, Housing: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
Use Vueling for travelling...I recommend renting a car if u r planning a trip to Andalucia. We did a five day trip to Andalucia by car and enjoyed it a LOT!! I used the metro in Valencia most of the time (5,60/10 trips) and to the uni I went by bike which I bought from here (from Mestalla u can buy used ones, or new ones from Alcampo).

Take a few minutes to learn how to use the trains. They are fast, safe, and cheap. Beer is realitively cheaper, but if you smoke, pack your own. Show your student ID at tourist places for discounts. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

To eat the best thing is to go to the cafeteria. You can get a Bocadillo and a drink for 1.20€ or a full 3 course meal for round about 4€. For cash I would suggest you dispense it two or three times a month in a lump sum to save on transaction fees. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
