Personal spending habits
I had an expensive housing situation, usually it is very comparable. I come from a very cheap part of my country, so I expected things to be more expensive. Travel was cheaper though - I love public transportation!

Nightlife is pretty expensive, but the thing to do is have parties and drinking games at home before you go out. This saves a lot of money!
En general it is cheaper than in Belgium.

Check out if you can obtain some kind of a scholarship, grant or other kind of funding. Get a job at least one year ahead and start saving, this way you'll be able to experience your stay abroad in a more relaxed way having some extra cash at hand.
