I chose to study in the US because I wanted to improve my English and I believe I am fluent now after spending a year. I am confident to speak with native English speaking people and I wasn't that much before coming to Texas.

Personal spending habits
I spent more on food because I went out to eat more, because I couldn't go to the grocery store that easily because I didn't have a car. On my cell phone I spent more because I couldn't enter into a contract and had to use a prepaid service that is more expenisve. Housing was more expensive because I live in a family owned appartment at home.
