Expenses
Main source of funding:
Government assistance
Other sources of funding:
Personal savings<br>
An ERASMUS grant
Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options
Personal spending habits
At home I was still living with my parents, therefor I had a lot more expenses such as food and rent. I also used the opportunity to travel to London, Birmingham and Manchester a few times, that is why my travel expenses were higher. I did however walk to school everyday (30 minutes) so did not spend anything on that.
