Spent more on telephone as I was making international calls but SMS are roughly the same. Accommodation was surprisingly cheap, but my halls and accommodation at my home university is quite expensive anyway. Was spending more on nightlife but went out less so it balanced out, but found travel, especially round the country, a lot cheaper.

Swiss trains! Train travel is relatively cheap and can be brought down by buying a one year half-fare card (demi-tarif) which gets you half price tickets on train lines, and the vast majority of buses and boats. It costs about 150CHF but it is most likely that it will pay for itself. Overall, I found that Switzerland was cheaper than people say it can be, once you get to know where to cut costs.
Food and drink was significantly more expensive in Lausanne than York. However I didn't have a telephone so naturally spent less, but also had to communicate less with friends and family back home. Travel in Switzerland is considerably more expensive than England but also more reliable. For this reason I probably made more excursions than I would have done at my home university.
Switzerland has the highest cost of living in Western Europe.

Commentaire personnel
Americans should modify their shopping to shop like the Swiss, not Americans. In other words, do not buy Coke and convenience foods. They are extremely expensive because most Swiss cook from scratch at home.

Switzerland has an image of being expensive - this is not always the case and some things are cheaper than England. This said, living costs were expensive in general.
