I could imagine that a more intensive local language course would be available. I was really interested in the Greek language and I think I could have learned more if I had the chance.

An ERASMUS grant

Other sources of funding:

Personal savings

Work opportunities:

I didn't explore any work options

Personal spending habits

I spent more than in my home country because most of the prices were higher than back home and also because being in a new place I was tempted to travel much more, to go out more often than I use to in my home country and none the less to make more international calls.

Telephone, Housing, Travel, Food, Overall, Nightlife:

was more expensive than at home.

Personal comments

If you want to avoid bad surprises in Greece try to find housing with the expenses included. I received a huge electricity bill and is good to know that the bills for electricity in Greece come for a few months. This can me quite challenging if your entire staying is for a few months... make sure you don't have to pay for the people that were there before you. Internet is expensive and I don't recommend you to make a contract with a phone company it will cost a lot!

Overall

The English Language and Literature department is one of the most respected departments in Greece and you actually need really high grades to be accepted. The university met my high expectations and I now have my BA Honours degree in English Language and Literature with which you can work in any field and teach students of all ages.
