nightlife in Rotterdam is quite disappointing (Nighttown, Hollywood,... are not my kind of stuff), however there are some good cafes and bars in the center or the Oude Haven district

Expenses
Main source of funding:
An ERASMUS grant
Other sources of funding:
Family
Personal savings
Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options
Personal spending habits
You generally spend more because you are aware that you only here for a restricted time so there is more of a drive to experience all that Rotterdam has to offer.

Personal comments
Rent a room at the International House is simple great, you have the possibility to live with students coming from every part of the world and sharing with them experience, culture, food. It is only 5 minutes far from the University and on the way of downtown Rotterdam. There the best parties of my life.
