A few honest caveats so you don’t get caught out.

A shared flat vs. a private studio can double your total. Get into a group early and split.
Deposit, flights, residence permit, a winter coat you didn’t pack: budget those separately.
Good to know
Batch a big pot with flatmates twice a week. Cheaper and you make friends.
Monthly/semester passes are massively cheaper than pay-as-you-go.
Free museum days, uni society events, picnics. Your best nights rarely cost the most.
