The host country was a little bit more expensive in general. In traveling I spent more because at that time I had better chances to travel than normally at home with more intensive studies.

Personal comments
Uppsala universitet offers students housing at Flogsta, Rackarberget or Kantorsgatan. All of them are well equipped, even though only Rackarberget is the only one in the city center. For people willing to bike (often done here), living outside the center is no problem, however.

It is a nice University, but I think that the social experience was more important than the studying part! If you go mainly to study you will have good environment!
