Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf (HHU)

Becasue at home I don't live by my own but with my family.

travel by train is much expensivier in Germany than in Italy. Nightlife has a lot of possibilities to offer and can be cheap, but if you go downtown clubs and bars are rather expensive

because i lived just with students we did a lot of party and I travel to visit the home of a part of them (Spain, France, Pologne, Holland)

Food is much cheaper here. If you are a student you get a pass for all the local public transport. The accomodation was much cheaper than at home but then a bit more basic. The nightlife is cheap too. Clubs are usually free to get in but because you can stay out until 5am you tend to drink less over a longer period of time. I spent more on the telephone because I used a german mobile or payphone. It seems cheaper to get a land line installed, especially as they have special rates for students. (Check out one-tel)

The cost of living here is cheaper so I tended to spend less on food and accomodation. The travel facilities are brilliant. The local transport networks are free with a student card and there are really good deals available both for journeys by bus and train. I spent less on a night out in Düsseldorf but tended to go out a lot more than I would at home, so on nightlife I spent about the same.

The food was cheaper and I didn't use the phone so much.
