Universidad de Murcia (UM)

Local supermarkets and restaurants (partuicualrly the tapas bars) tend to be cheaper than at home. Calling home is obviously more expensive but you should buy a Spanish SIM card to communicate with friends in Spain. Housing is generally the same or cheaper. There is a lot going on at night, especially for Erasmus students (more or less from Tuesday - Saturday) but on the plus side alcohol tends to be much cheaper than at home.

More on travelling because I wanted to travel arround Spain to see as much as I could and for the fiestas etc. More on the telephone because I was phoning from abroad and inevitably this was more expensive.

In Murcia life is generally cheaper than in Belgium, especially for food and housing

Strong sterling, and relatively cheap location

Generally the cost of living was slightly lower than that of the UK.

I travelled to madrid and mallorca and many other sites, so my travel expenses were high. in general, costs in the south of spain are lower than in austria.
