University of Oulu

I did not spend money on the phone because I did not have one. Generally, it is quite expensive. Travel is very affordable for students, which is why I took advantage of it. Buses, trains, and even airplanes all offer specially priced student tickets.

All the prices in Finland are much higher then in Russia. Sometimes the grant was not enough to cover all the expences, so I didn't call that much myself in order to save some money. As for travelling, I don't have much opportunity to travel from home as there are always many problems with visa. My course in Oulu included the trips to Estonia, Sweden, Norway and all over Finland for free, but we still payed the food and transportation in the cities.

Finland is more expensive in overall than Spain. The prices of the food were higher. On the contrary, I found the telephone network extremely cheap in comparison to Spain. The housing price was adapted to students. At this point, there were also a huge difference with Spain. The drinks in the bars were much more expensive. Traveling was pretty the same since we benefited from student discounts in some transportations, and the quality of the hostels were much better than Spain and we usually found better prices.

Finland is expensive, relative to America. I spent more on travel simply because I never travel at home, and it is very easy to get around in Europe.

Food: prices are upper than in Belgium Telephone: because international phone calls are more expensive Accommodation: less expensive than in Belgium thank to government's help. Travel: When I am in a foreign country, I try to visit a lot

food is more expensive her, and you have to shop every day because the fridges are so small. we went out more and travelled more here so that is why we spent more too.
