Personal comments
The rooms weren't really big, and it was not so clean, but it wasn't expensive and the athmosphere was really good and it was only a five minute walk from school, and not expensive. It was the best choice we had and I really liked it

Personal spending habits
because some things are more expensive (food)and others you use a lot more than at home: phonecalls to your parents and friends, you go out more and it is more expensive and you want to see the country so you travel a lot, something you normally don't do so often in your own country.
