Personal spending habits
Travelling is cheaper in France - I've been travelling more, but spent less! - Housing prices are similar to Vienna, but I'm living with my parents, that's why my expenses were higher in Lyon

Personal recommendation
Financial courses are quite hard - they are specialized in this, but the other's are rather easy. Still there are some which are more difficult - I took fiscalité which was hard for most of the students.
