I spend more money than in my Country because the cost of life is absolutly different than the town where I study in France. Moreover, when you arrive into a foreign Country I think it's shame if you stay at home.

it you like travelling to the Highland, you can buy a Smart card from Scottish City link for 6 pounds a year. You get reductions, if you go by bus to the Highlands.

Cost saving tip will be to spend the first days eating sandwitches and checking out your surroundings. Some supermarkets have cheaper items than others, and if you don't look after you finances, you might find yourself in trouble pretty soon. Make a list of cheap places to buy some food items, and housing items. Lidl, Pound stretcher and Farmfoods are the best around here.
