In terms of travle, the public transportation is not as cheap as in Korea. But the rent is pretty same or somewhat less if you stay offcampus. Living in a residence requires more expenses than living offcampus. Acholic drink is a bit more expensive than Korea except wine.

I spent more, as I was living away from home, therefore there are more expenses. Also I thought that I was only going to be there for a short period, therefore I wanted to experience as much as possible.

Must shop around for relatively cheap things. Ask people about where to get what. Get to know organizations like salvation army, food banks etc when the going gets though.
