Accommodation obviously is the big expense. Nightlife can be as cheap as you want it to be - parties in houses save a lot of money! Although I don't travel much while at home, the general costs of travelling over there are cheaper.

Milan is notorious for shopping (clothes and shoes shoes shoes). There are so many things to do, places to see and people to meet that money flies. Besides, I have a very cheap flat back at home.

Everything in Milna is very expensive, and when you are on exchange you tend to do more activities than when at home, so you will end up spending quite a bit of money. Also on top of the above mentioned expensies, Milan is amazing for shopping...

Naturally, I went out, and perhaps a bit more than at home. Plus, drinks typically cost at least 7 Euros so it adds up.

Be weary of your institution's international currency withdrawl fees and exchange rates, and withdrawl accordingly.
