Expenses

Main source of funding:

A private grant

Other sources of funding:

Personal savings

Work opportunities:

I didn't want/need to work

Personal spending habits

Norway is a much more expensive country than Romania in all aspects, but with a higher life standard also, so I assume that inhabitants don't necessarily feel they are spending too much. For a student living out of a grant it's nevertheless hard.

Nightlife, Housing, Travel, Food, Overall:

was more expensive than at home.

Telephone:

was the same price as at home.

Accessibility of student needs

Second-hand text books

Second-hand household items

Computers / Internet

Administrative

Money from home

Personal comments

A cheaper dorm can mean a significant saving of money without a too bigger difference in conditions compared to a more expensive on campus accommodation.
