Accomodation is less in Venice (city)than London. Mestre, the part on the mainland is even cheaper but if you are going to live in venice try and live in Venice itself (the city) so you can live amongst the canals and the beautiful palazzos!

Personal comments
when renting a room you need 3 months deposit which is a lot to hand out in one go. If you can avoid the tourist places (San Marco) try instead to go to San Polo and Dorsoduro areas.. they are excellent, just as beautiful and less expensive!

I worked, but it was illegal/cash in hand work
Personal spending habits
Housine in Venice is generally very expensive but we shared a small apartment which cut down our costs.
There is not much of a nightlife in Venice so we always organised parties amongst ourselves and buying fresh one when you bring your bottle is so much cheaper than buying beer or any other drink.

I didn't want the experience to be limited by any financial matters. It was a once in a life-time opportuntity and I didn't want money to be an issue which I would regret afterwards.

calling home from a cell phone is cheaper than using the phone in your house, or having people call from the states.

I went out and travelled quite a bit, explaing why things cost more. Having a kitchen kept costs lower.

Cappuccinos and espressos add up! So do Spritz! Wine will be cheaper than soda anywhere.

Because Venice is a quite luxury town, hard to find a accomodation to a cheap price!
