Durham is cheaper than Rome for housing - as you would expect. I travelled more in Italy than I would in Britain. Bills, however, were much more expensive, especially electricity and the condominio charge (if you have to pay it).

Most Italians bought all their own books - I was one of the few people to use the library (although it was not very user friendly). Ask people in upper years to lend you their books (they're very obliging that way). Internet access at uni was fine, though a turn system was used. Printing was free! If you can avoid it, don't even think about opening a bank account - they charge you for the pleasure. Uni provides emergency medical health insurance for free. Registering with a normal doctor is tricky at first, but it's useful for prescription medicines (which can often be got by paying full commercial price at pharmacies without having a prescription), because it's only €1 with a prescription. The Erasmus grant, and the lack of having to pay tuition fees, and the fact that Ryanair flights are cheaper than GNER trains from Durham to London, meant that my finances were as healthy if not more as they would be at home.
In Britain I live in my parental home & therrefore not required to contribute to major expenses such as food/telephone and accomodation. however, in host country these expenses are comparibly cheaper than in Britain.

If travelling throughout the country is likely, it's much more advisable to buy a "chilometrico" ticket for the trains than individau trip tickets-it offers huge savings for distance:price. Bus/underground passes are very good value for money-around £10/month with student card. Also, check for student reductions for all facilites/entertainment.
Because Rom is more expensive than Maastricht and because I was socially very active during my semester abroad (going out, travelling, enjoying life...)

At your arrival in Rome, stay at the Beehive.com. This is a very cheap and excellent tiny, little youth hostel, run by a couple from LA, California. Lovely!
In spain I live with my parents, that is why I do not spend money in this aspect. Secondly, I visit most of the Italy because I wanted to profit the six months period.
