Main source of funding:
Government assistance
Other sources of funding:
An ERASMUS grant

Personal spending habits
Telephone cost was less than at home because I was in touch with my friends via internet. Via internet, you could send email or even talk to your friends.
Housing cost was defenately higher than at home, because the Netherlands has higher housing cost, due to the fact, that real estate is more expensive than in Germany

If you travel a lot within the Netherlands, I would advise you to get a "Korting Kart". This card will cut of your travelling cost up to 45%

It is a good idea to buy a discount card for train trips. It costs about 50€, and it gives you a 50% discount in every train ticket taht you buy. TRAIN TICKETS ARE REALLY EXPENSIVE!!!
If you love arts, you can get a Museum card which allows you to enter most museums for free.

Learn to cook, food is expesive and portions are small. But if you can cook you will save a mint. Get a korting card, 40% off travel within the Netherlands by train.
