I spent less in Austria because the country does not rip you off for many everyday products like Ireland does. Shopping in the Supermarkets like Billa abd Aldi saves you a lot.

We eat out more here because it's slightly cheaper than at home - a false economy, it seems! Spend more on travel because I travel a lot more. In fact it's actually cheaper than at home.

There was no real storage area for food so bought it every day, international calls are expensive, made the most of my year abroad with international students and travelled around Europe- Czech Rep, Hungary, Germany and around Austria.

Prices are different. I can't just go around and visit my girlfriend, I have to talk to her on the phone. I spent more time traveling about in Austria than I would at home.

i think students'life is encouraged by the state so if you are a student you have the possibility to live with less money. in italy they don't care about students!
