Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? The atmosphere was great on Campus but is good to live there if we are a student but if you are a worker maybe the place is not the best.

The conditions are not so good but the environment and the student atmosphere ie fantastic.

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:
An ERASMUS grant
Other sources of funding:
Family
Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options
Personal spending habits:
The culture of Slovakia is different than the portuguese culture. I spent maybe more than on my country because i was trabelling a lot and the eramus environment demanded from me a extra budget for some activities.
Housing: was more expensive than at home.
Food, Nightlife: was the same price as at home.
Travel, Overall, Telephone: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
On the first days, be carefull, mainly on nightlife because people will charge you more than the correct if they see that you are a foreigner. Don't go shopping in Bratislava beacuse is not so cheap as you can think. If you know the right restaurants, you can eat out paying a very cheap prices
