Food because I had a meal plan in my dorm and that was more expensive than food I usually buy at home. Housing was also more expensive than at home. Nightlife cheaper because better deals, a lot of happy hours....:-) Travel more because I usually do not travel as much as during this semester.

In Brazil, we have really bad exchange rate concerning dollar-real, therefore we (Brazilians) had to spend 3x more what we normally spend at home.
