Personal spending habits

I took so much care of my economy outside, I could not expect my parents make this big effort without having some consideration with them. The bigger amount was the accommodation. All travels were orginzed by a host-student group which made them really affordable. I didn't spend so much in nightlife, as I don't usually drink alcohol, I just wanted to be with my friends there, not spendind all my money just in a party.

Housing:

was more expensive than at home.

Overall, Travel, Food, Telephone:

was the same price as at home.

Nightlife:

was less expensive than at home.

Final comments

There were a student group which really helped us (international students) to get in touch with the city, the university, the culture and the country. I think they really achieved to make us part of campus life through weekly meetings, excursions and some trips around Germany, it was the best welcome we could have!

Personal comments

At the beggining I didn't know so much german, but as the University offered some intensive courses before each semester and some courses during the semesters I could learn german grammar and vocabulary. Something that really helped me to improve my german was interacting with other german students, I enrolled on the university choir and I could meet some of my german friends.
