Expenses
Main source of funding:
An ERASMUS grant
Other sources of funding:
Personal savings
Work opportunities:
I didn't want/need to work
Personal spending habits
Price level in Finland is higher than in the Czech Republic. I have wanted to travel around and to see the country so I have spent more on the fares, prices of the housing have been fixed so I can economize only on the non-essential items as the phone bill of night life expenditures.

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
there are many exchange students around, it has been a great experience to get to know them and to learn more about their countries and culture. It is also a pleasant moment when we meet in the common kitchen and chat about everything. One never feels lonely.
