At home I lived with my parents, so I had no housing and food expenses. In my home country we have a free student travel card all over The Netherlands. In The UK you just get discount on your travel expenses.

My overall language and communication skills definitely improved troughout the study abroad programme. At the beginning you had to get used to the very British English, which was just a matter of time. Moreover I would say, that the experience was a great advantage when it comes to Business English and technical vocabulary.
