Nanyang Technological University (NTU)

Norway is a country based upon taxes and more taxes. By having all these taxes it makes Norway one of the most expensive countries in the world. Singapore is much cheaper in certain areas due to lower salaries and lower taxes. But there are areas where Singapore is more expensive, such as alcohol. A pint of beer is really expensive in Singapore.

Did lots of travelling and partying, much more than at home. Food is very cheap, same for housing.

As the Norwegian economy is pretty overheated and geared-up, most countries around the World will be cheaper.

Considering the price level, Singapore proves to be less expensive for a student that is trying to live "just normal". Local food can be very cheap in comparison to my home country, and accomodation on campus was much more less than at home as well. I have saved a lot on those two issues, without missing anything. Overall, the stay here, came me a little less expensive, as the living costs that I have experienced at home so far.

I am living with my parents in Barcelona so paying a rent was obviously more expensive. Furthermore, I travelled as much as I could and I partied more than usual.

Almost everything is cheaper in Singapore than in Austria, especially housing and travel.
