Personal spending habits
Food and especially alcohol was way cheaper than in Finland and housing was cheap as well. It costs relatively little to call abroad if you have a landline and use the cheap lines (www.billigertelefonieren.de), but I spent so much time talking to my boyfriend that I spent a lot anyway.. :) Nightlife is not particularly expensive either, but as an exhange student you party more than usually... the same applies to travel. But you can get by with less than in Finland if you leave out the extras.

Housing
Type of housing: student housing, shared, about 3,5km from the uni
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
While it was easy to go to the university arranged housing, free market flats were quite cheap in Bamberg as well.

Personal comments
The apartments are ok - if you don't mind living in the not-so-pretty new part of this incredibly beautiful old town. Rates are cheap and there's a LOT of social life.

Personal comments
A lot of good trips are organised to the exhange students: with 50 euros for a weekend in berlin, they really are value to your money. Night life in Bamberg is nothing special, that is, wouldn't be inf there weren't the wild Erasmus students! Kleber bar is legendary.
