The rent for student accomodation was was the double than in Finland. The food at the University was also more expensive( and worse) so I cooked a lot at home.Nightlife was definitely cheaper than Finland, for example cinemas and pubs.

Food was provided by a canteen in the accomodation. I used a lot the mobile.
Acccomodation was a bit expensive, but food was provided. so it was almost equal. If you use the student opportunities travel is very easy and cheap. The phone expenses were the highest I ever had and so I spent a lot in the overall evaluation.

Probably the best tip would be to take advantage of the many student discounts that are available. Look out for coupons and such which are distributed on campus during orientation week.
