A semester in the US just is expensive, remember the students there spend a multiple of what you will be spending.

the cost of living is much higher in the US than in Belarus. The same is about food and phone costs. I travelled more in the US than in Belarus as well.

Only housing was really expensive, the rest was not too bad. It was hard to get food in lesser quantities, all of the stuff is "family size".

Books were really expensive, with a little bit of looking around you should be able to get good deals on anything, including cars, food, ... I spend quite a lot of money, definitely very very very much more than I would have spent at home, but this was what I had expected. I you go somewhere with only two suitcases means some expenses just to "get started". And at the start you have to figure everything out.

The exchange rate of the doller to the pound made life quite cheap. So I guess I was kind of lucky.

Let the Austrians buy the car, the Russians the Vodka, and the Germens the BQQ. Then, if you are British all you have to do is bring the jokes.
