Expenses
Main source of funding:
Family
Other sources of funding:
Personal savings<br>
An ERASMUS grant
Work opportunities:
I didn't want/need to work
Personal spending habits
Food and accomodation: living in Hall-of-Residence and eating in University restaurant is cheaper than any other choice, when I went it cost 1 euro each lunch and 1 euro each dinner. Accomodation: 75 euro monthly!!!
Telephone: I had less people to call (only family). When I bought a cellular phone I began to spend a little more.
Overall: Travelling and nightlife is not economic and... these are the things I'd ever love.

Personal comments
At the begining, when I didn't know the language as well as I know it now, it was difficult. But with the time I've learned the language and the comunication with friends and in the everyday life began to be good! It is very interesting how you learn the language when you are in the situation "you learn it or you can not comunicate". I really liked the experiance!

Piazza Duomo. Outside Messina Cathedral, on Spring people starts to go to this place, near there is a bar called "Safari", economic and various beers. I liked very much "Otis" pub, with normal people playing instruments. About coffe, are you going in Italy?? so you go to the coffe country, Arcobaleno cafe has one of the best coffe I never tasted: GRANITA RULEZ!!!
On summer, search time to go to beach
