Finances

* Money: How easily were you able to live on a student's budget?

(1 = not very easy/$200+ on food & personal expenses/week, 2.5 = $100/week, 5 = very easily/minimal cost)

Not including program expenses, about how much money did you spend on food and other expenses each week? i shopped a lot... so i spent around 75 to 100 a week.
Do you have any general money-saving tips for future study abroad participants? don't shop! it makes you burn through money. travel and eat cheaply.
