I spent overall less than at home, because the prices for the above mentioned expenses categories were lower in Holland -at least in Groningen- compared to the ones in Greece.

Cost saving tips: get a monthly travel card from the National railways, if u plan to travel a lot by train within a month's time. This should save you a respectable amount of money. For more daily things, do eat at the University's cafe-restaurant: good food, good coffee, nice environment with impressive roof seeing the sky, good prices.

travelling too expensive, you should cook, restaurants are expensive. housing is also expensive. i paid 258Eu for single room, i may hire appartment with 3room in Turkiye for that money. Night life is cheaper but as i went out more often i spent more in total

living abroad makes life always a bit expensive, also because the netherlands is a bit more expensive, in general terms than Spain.

They don't accept Visa-cards in any of the groceries in the Netherlands!!
It's wise to open a local bank account and transfer all your money at once, if possible, since the transfer costs are quite high.
