Exchange students: how to survive abroad on a shoestring

Education | The Guardian: When I was preparing to head to Nantes, France, for my year abroad, returning exchange students would constantly tell me that it’s cheaper to live abroad.

But my friends and I often found ourselves struggling for moneywhile we waited for our Erasmus grants.

Like many British students in countries such as France, Germany and Spain – the most popular destinations for UK students – I’d never lived in the land of the euro before and I found it financially difficult at times. Admittedly, I prioritised socialising, which probably didn’t help.
