Personal spending habits
I sent more on travel because I wanted to see a bit of the country while I was there, so every free weekend was spent being a tourist; something I just wouldn't do at home! My telephone bills home were legendary as I often talked to friends and family at home and rung too many German mobiles too! Food and housing was considerably cheaper - had a shock when I got home!!

Personal comments
All university accommodation is pretty good and well maintained. YOu can chose to either live in a room on your own (cooking facilities provided) or share with 2 other students(-I shared with two Germans). The accommodation was clean and a lot cheaper than at home.

I spent many a night in Das Boot, the nightclub, which literally is on a boat - its novel, and fun too, especially on thursday nights when its student night and so cheaper entry.
