Personal spending habits
I lived at home in Ireland so I didn't pay rent. I have travelled a lot here so those expenses are high. Everyday spending such as on groceries is cheaper in France and college nights out are much cheaper.

Carte 12-25 will save on rail expenses.
I spent a lot of money in the beginning on phone calls home before I found the EuroLatina card. This is by far the best international phone card.
Toiletries and groceries are all cheaper in Germany.

for saving money, go to Kehl, the German city on the other side if the Rhein (even a busline going there!). The basic products like food, drinks, drugstore-products or cigarettes are about half the price.

I took advantage over the great location of Strasbourg and travelled A LOT during my year there. Nightlife became cheaper because most of the parties I participated in were organised by IECS and the drinks were cheap there... whereas in Finland this is not the case.

Since i had to pay for all those things myself. Normally everything is paid by parents at home so there is no real feeling of that cost.

The housing is subsidised by the french govt. Food/ drink and going out is about the same as Ireland, maybe a bit cheaper.
