Personal spending habits
at home i am living with my parents so i am not paying any rent. For the phone it was expensive to me because i was spending time phoning to my family, this spending doesn't exist anymore. The food is expensive when you study abroad because you usually on the campus, you don't bother cooking and eat out. The nightlife is special when you're a student abroad.You have to meet people and socialise, therefor you need to go for drinks and food very often to meet other students

Second-hand household items
Personal comments
the best xay to save money sis to open a bank account in the host country and take advantage of the first days of registration when Banks agree to open a bank account to any student. It is more difficult if you do it later

Final comments
the good thing about brighton is that it is close to London. You can get to london by train or by coach, where it is only 10£ return in the day. When you first arrive in Brighton thz cheapest place to go and get a room is the backpacker called St Christopher on Kin's road in front of the Pier, it is cheap.

Personal comments
brighton 's city centre in general is very lively, st james's street is good but not very safe, there is a good atmosphere in st james's pub. there is a small independant cinema room closs to king's road where you can have a drink and watch movies. i 've left brighton in April to work on my dissertation in Northern Ireland and there are a lot of places that I have forgotten.
