More on telephone expenses because I used a cell phone and was without a fixed home line. The occasion to speak with friends often is tempting, so the cell phone bill was definitely higher than my normal home phone bill. Accommodation was more, because the private organization I went through simply charged such a rate. Nightlife was more, because I could go out more since school work was not so demanding as at my home university.

There were many opportunities to travel and do outdoor activities (especially skiiing) and I tried to take part as often as possible. Also, as going abroad does not only invovle studying but also meeting other people and getting to know the local population, I spent a lot of money on socialising.

Next to the campus, Avenue Gabriel Peri, there are two very cheap supermarkets, Ed and Lidl. And whenever you show your student card, you'll have a reduction on anything: public transport, sport, shops, hairdresser etc.

Yes, always pay the "tram" which is the local train, otherwise you have to pay a large fee.
