Expenses

Other sources of funding:

Family<br> Personal savings<br> Other

I didn't explore any work options

Personal spending habits

I changed my lifestyle somewhat when I came to Austin. Due to the relatively short stay we wanted to get the most out of everything and that comes with a cost. Accomodation however was due to higher average costs.

Nightlife, Telephone:

was the same price as at home.

Housing, Travel, Food, Overall:

was less expensive than at home.

Accessibility of student needs

Second-hand text books

Second-hand household items

Computers / Internet

Administrative

Money from home

Personal comments

If you rent furniture - locate the Aaron Rents outlet where they have used furniture. Will cut you costs substantially - at least 50%. Also, be careful about what services you ask for fromt the telephone companies. They try to make you think that you need all kinds of expensive services when what you really need is only a line.

I would recommend everybody to travel as much as possible. Travelling with other exchange students is very exciting. Definintely go to New Orleans and Mexiko because it is so close and really worth seeing.

Final comments

Have fun and mingle with both americans and international. Try to get a lot out of the social life and not only school. I was able to participate in all social activities while earning a GPA of 3.75 - so can you. It only requieres a little dicipline.
