Personal comments
Night life, travel and sport activities (!) as well cost a bit, so experiences depend on available founds :-l I would advice to buy sport center membership card, 40 pounds, gives opportunity to join many sport activities. Good movies in East Art Cinema as well as in student's cinema. Very well organised student union.

'cos everything is more expensive. The food in markets is simmilar or even sometimes cheeper, depends on what you are able to eat ;-)
Of course if not cooking by your own expenses for food rise.

Personal comments
Open an account in a local bank - cash bonus guarantee (50 pounds?). For international calls use cards you can buy in phone shops. Bring a car if you want to travel a lot. If planning to travel a lot by coaches buy a coach-card. Never use trains :-) Sometimes 2 pounds more for b&b is much better choice than youth hostel. Travel by hitchhiking, it works thoug many people say it doesn't.
