Personal comments
THE BEST BARS TO HIT ARE THE BARKING FROG, THE CEEPS, THE ROUND TOWER, AND PLENTY OF OTHER. CONCERNING NIGHTCLUBS PHOENIX IS DEFINITLY THE BEST, BUT IN COMPETITION WITH THE DRINK.

HOUSING WAS JUST FINE. RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF TOWN. OLD HOTEL ROOMS IN COURSE OF RENOVATION WHERE ALL EXCHANGE STUDENTS LIVE. VERY GOOD LOCATION, NEXT TO ALL THE BUSLINE. VERY PRACTICAL.

Expenses
Main source of funding:
Family
Other sources of funding:
none
Work opportunities:
It was not legal for me to work
Personal spending habits
THE VARIENCIES OF PRICES VARY A LOT FROM ONE COUNTRY OT ANOTHER. IN CANADA, FOOD WAS PRETTY INEXPENSIVE, EXCEPT PERHAPS ON CAMPUS. AS TO THE OTHER SUBJECT, I SPENT MORE TRAVELING BECAUSE OF THE OPOPRTUNITIES THAT WERE OFFERED TO ME SUCH AS A 5 DAY TRIP TO THE ALGONQUIN PARK, OR CHICAGO, AND SO ON.
