As far as food was concerned, the dorms did not have adequate facilites to cook yourself. Therefore I was forced to eat out all the time. The phone system in Japan is just more expensive than in my country. I spent less in accomodation because I was living in a small one room dorm as compared to a full apartment or house at home. I didnt go out very much in Tsukuba because there were really no places of interest to me. Most of my time was spent with friends. I had some time off to travel while I was there and spent quite a bit of money backpacking across south east asia.
If money is important to you, stay at the dorms. Some people manage to survive there for 4 or 5 years!!! It's really difficult to find an appartment to share with other students. Also try to cook your own food. If you're at the dorm and the kitchen is really nasty, get a micro-wave and/or an electric range (second hand will be much cheaper)
