I spent more for foods because it's little expensive than in France.
For my phone it's normal, because I had a french number. And for travel, I spent more to visit the host country, which is very rich in culture and landscape.

The most significant financial surprise, what's the price of the parking, very expensive. Otherwise, to travel it's very cheaper than in my home country, by train, by plane.

At home means at my parents, where I didn't have to pay for rent or food. Only for luxuries. The travelling is now less expensive, since I can use my student OV card.

The bills for phoning and internet can be pretty high. It's obvious, but do not use it more often than that you really need it.

Bank sistem (concerning to relation bank/customer)si very different. They don't mind if you are student. In Spain if you are student you have better banking conditions.
