Personal spending habits
I spent more in food because I live with my parents, but the price is similar. Housing is more expensive abroad. Overall life abroad is more expensive mainly because theres a lot of expenses you donīt realize until you live on your own. Mostly what I noticed more expensive was restaurants and some products to purchase

Yes. It's better if you have your own medical insurance, because the university's insurance costs about twice, and covers the same.
