Alcohol very expensive in comparison to UK. Rent was also exteremely expensive for the service received. Food is good but by no means cheaper and although rail-travel is excellent, the prices of flights are considerably higher.

High initial deposit/guarantee. Mobile phone charges expensive. I advise searching for shared private accomodation and buying a contract phone.

Life in Toulouse it much more expensive than in Holland. Every thing you want to do costs money, but there are a lot of things organized for students prices.
