I was living in a rent house and in Portugal I live with my parents, therefore I had this adittional expense. I spend less traveling beucase of my bike.Nightlife was quite the same, I didn't notice too many differences in the prices and we had a lot of erasmus home parties therefore was cheap.To sum up, I expended a lot more, mainly beucase I was living alone on my own and the prices are a bit higher than in Portugal.

Personal comments
For supermarket go to Aldi or Dirk. For celular phones don't use vodafone since it is the most expensive company. For bank use ABN Amro it has few taxes and internet banking. Avoid shopping in the center (near Centraal Station) because it is quite expensive.

one reason is that Amsterdam is slightly more expensive than Vienna, I would say. and the other reason is that you spend a lot more money on activities than you would do at home, because you travel more, etc

Since the kitchen was rather small, and used by 12 persons, it was harder to cook than it is at home. This made me by more pre-cooked dishes.
