Expenses
Main source of funding:
Family
Other sources of funding:
none
Work opportunities:
I worked during my study abroad experience
Personal spending habits
Because in my home country I lived at home. Overseas, I lived on my own and the expenses of one person does not equal the sum of the expenses of each member of a family. Usually, its cheaper as a whole than a group of individuals.
