The accomodation in the Student Village is very comfortable, even it is far away from the Campus there are good bus linkages. Above all it is a very International Village and this is very stimulating!

Expenses
Main source of funding:
Personal savings
Other sources of funding:
An ERASMUS grant
Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options
Personal spending habits
