In Germany at most Universities you get a ticket that you can use free the buses and the trains of the city. Here you have to buy the tickets which cost between 3700 pts and 6200 a month for one or two zones. Sometimes you have to buy additional tickets.

I spent more because in Ireland I live at home with my parents and in Barcelona I obvioulsy had to fend for myself.Overall everything is cheaper than in Ireland but because an Erasmus year is enjoyable you go out more and socialize more, travel more etc.

In general Spain is cheaper than Belgium but , Barcelona is not Spain, it is a big cosmopolitan where everything ( except food ) is about the same as home.
