Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university

students from the ESSCA are very open minded as they have to take an exchange semester themselves, but YOU have to go and contact them, then it's no problem.

Other sources of funding:
Personal savings
Government assistance
An ERASMUS grant
Work opportunities:
I didn't want/need to work
Personal spending habits
housing was more expensive because you indirectly paid the rent of the summer months when nobody is living in the apartments; of course I traveled more than at home. telephone was cheaper, because I had a phone in my apartment and there was a cheaper tariff from austria to france than from austria to austria (but not vice versa!)
