University of Otago

Telephone: local calls are free and I did not use any mobile. Accomodation: At home I live with my family. However, flatting in New Zealand is far cheaper than in Spain. Night life: Alcohol is expensive, but entrance to the clubs is usually free of charge. Travel: The accomodation in backpackers is really affordable and travelling by bus is also very cheap. However, air fares are very expensive. I also spend a lot travelling, because all the adventure sports to do and all the beautiful sceneries that New Zealand has and I did not want to miss.

The only main difference was traveling expenses. I spent this money because I was in a different country and wanted to explore and see it for all it offered.

I was travelling around every weekend (including skiing, bungee jumping, diving, caving etc.). Besides this the liquor is more expensive

Because I live with my family at home = almost no expenses.

Because as an international student you want to see it all, and you just go for the full experience to learn about all the opportunities (culture, people, scenery, sports) in the country

I did more travelling than at home and we went out quite a lot. Food: vegetables and fruits (my main source of food) was more expensive. But it was worth it!!!!
