food, drinks and nightlife are definitly cheaper then back home, even though I went out more then I would have done back home. I live in a student dorm back home as well, but pay a bit more then a did in Vienna. The travel cost was higher mainly because I traveled all around eastern-europe, which I wouldn't have done a home. But the cost per trip was of course less then home.

Personal comments
The irish oubs were all good especially Charlie P's and Flanagan's. The university ball and any gigs organised by the college were always great. Maria's Cantene was a cool cheap nightclub to go to.
