I really enjoyed my internship and met some great people while in Ireland. I also really enjoyed traveling so much around Ireland and since it was a small country, it was easy to travel a lot and being in Europe, I had very easy access to other European countries to travel to |
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? | Around 50-75 Euro per week |
| Do you have any general money-saving tips for future study abroad participants? | Something that really helped me when cooking is to meal prep so I wouldn't buy too much food at once and it would get spoiled. I would also do 2 trips every week because the food didn't have many preservatives so they didn't last as long |
