It was not legal for me to work Personal spending habits:
I spent more on travel because I travelled throughout Europe during the year and I usually don't travel when in California. I had more phone bills because I would have to call long distance in order to speak to my friends and family. I spent more on Nightlife because I generally went out more in the Netherlands than I do in California. Travel, Nightlife, Overall, Telephone: was more expensive than at home. Food, Housing: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
One doesn't spend that much in text books because the professor just assigns readings that needs to be photocopied for class. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
