The general cost of living out here is definitely cheaper, and after a while like anywhere else you learn where to shop, eat out and go out in order to spend your pennies more wisely. Travel was more obviously because I tried to see as much of Italy as I could, but the uni runs very economical trips away too. Then of course I have spent a small fortune on the phone as nearly all student properties are without a landline, even properties in general don't have this luxury, so inevitably if I didn't want to go to the phonebox every single time I wanted to call someone, I'd just use my mobile...oh dear! All I can say is be careful, but you'll all blatantly do the same!

Italy is more expensive; the grant was much higher than my income in home country; and really a lot of ways to spend the money.

I spent less on food because in Italy eating well costs less. It increased my desire to learn how to cook. Travel was a heavy expense, mainly because there are so many wonderful places to visit in Italy that I tried to do so in my 8 months.
