Expenses
Main source of funding:
Government assistance
Other sources of funding:
Personal savings
An ERASMUS grant
Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options
Personal spending habits
At home I was still living with my parents, therefor I had a lot more expenses such as food and rent. I also used the opportunity to travel to London, Birmingham and Manchester a few times, that is why my travel expenses were higher. I did however walk to school everyday (30 minutes) so did not spend anything on that.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
Getting in contact with other students proved to be a lot easier for the students living on campus, students with private housing had a harder time fitting in.

Personal comments
The neighbourhood was not the safest and the house was very dirty but the overall experience was pretty good. The price/quality rating was good, especially considering I am a student I should not complain.
