Other sources of funding:
Family
Government assistance
Other
Work opportunities:
I worked during my study abroad experience
Personal spending habits
I go out more often than at home, and of course I take the opportunity of being abroad to travel around. Besides I had to buy a lot of stuff, like kitchen-gear and so on. I spent less on the accommodation, because this is just very expensive where I come from.
