Personal spending habits
I spen more on the telephone, because I only had a mobile phone so calling abroad became more expensive. I spend more on the nightlife not because it is more expensive but because I went out much more. On food and travelling I spend less because it was cheaper in Holland than in Sweden.

Personal comments
If you need furniture or household items go around the city, beacsue in Holland they have a wounderful recycling tradition, that everyone leaves their things outside on the street, once a week, so who ever needs anything can take it before the garbage men do! Some things are a real catch!

Plan more money that you expect - from my own experience most people paid much more in total than they expected at the beginning of the semester

The life is generally more expensive in Amsterdam than in Pris and this is specially true for the food and the housing, but for the nightlife it was the frequency that made me spend more than at home

open a saving account and save 5 to 10 % of your income or the money sent to you by your relatives every two weeks or every month.

I would say I only spend more on housing, because of the very high housing prices in Amsterdam.
