Personal spending habits
I spent more in these categories b/c at home I go to the grocery store as opposed to always eating out. I also had to telephone abroad often, which I don't do here. Finally, I travelled every weekend when I was in Europe and here I rarely travel.

Was learning English a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't.
Language difficulties

Personal comments
There are three "local" languages: French, Luxembourgish, and German. I spoke fluent French upon departing Luxembourg, however I was barely exposed to the other 2 languages on a one to one basis.

Housing
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: With a family
Why?
I liked living with a host family because I felt like I was more apart of the Luxembourg culture. Also, they only spoke to me in French, which significantly helped my language fluency.
