I live with my parents, so I automatically spent more on food and accommodation. I hardly used my mobile phone as it was a dutch one, so It would've cost too much to use it. I went out more than In Holland so I spent more on nightlife. In Holland I have a travelcard which is funded by the government, so I spent more in the UK.

The buscard for the semester costed 145 pounds so that was a bit of a surprise. It's better to take lots of money every once in a while than to take little amounts, because your bank charges quite a lot for those transactions.

Just because at home I live with my family and I don't have to spend anything for food and accomodation. The possible difference is given by the weak value of my home currency against the sterling.

Everything was basically priced the same as at home so I was able to keep the budget I used at my home university. The only time that I went over budget a little was when I traveled.
