5 Expenses

Main source of funding:
Government assistance

Other sources of funding:
Family
Personal savings
An ERASMUS grant

Work opportunities
I didn't want/need to work.

Personal spending habits:
Food and especially alcohol was way cheaper than in Finland and housing was cheap as well. It costs relatively little to call abroad if you have a landline and use the cheap lines (www.billigertelefonieren.de), but I spent so much time talking to my boyfriend that I spent a lot anyway.. :) Nightlife is not particularly expensive either, but as an exhange student you party more than usually... the same applies to travel. But you can get by with less than in Finland if you leave out the extras.

The accessibility of student needs
