The lack of cooking facilities at Europa Haus meant that I had to eat out more than usual, purely through boredom of Pasta and Sauce all the time. Travel is obviously going to be more expensive to and from Germany, but also the need to spend DM51 a month on a travel card for the trams tends to grate after a while.

It is very easy to get money over from Britain, simply use ATM's, wiring money really isn't worth the hassle or cost.

The phone system in Germany is whacky, so it's a little more expensive than in the U.S. there is a charge for every call, local and long distance

Germany for Americans is the half price country. The only way to go broke is if you spend without caution. Everything there is cheap. Except the trains, travel can get expensive.
