Université Stendhal-Grenoble 3

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.

Before doing the exchange I lived with my parents so I didn't spend anything for food and housing.

The food was based on my income, when I am living at home my parents attribute to house income.

because i travelled around alot and went skiing all the time - lots of good deals
