the citys are expensive but really any city worldwide is the same ... but if u stay out of town its cheap .....u really need to put where abouts your going to stay ..
2 :
pay anywhere between 200 (single room about 16sqm) and 340 euros (room with kitchenette) generally furnished but not always with phone/internet, washingmachine etc. (and the laundromat is a huge 7euro per load!) check out www.duwo.nl the student housing agency that places tu delft exchange students. shopping, well, depends. milk is cheap but milk products are not. meat is generally 8 or 10euro/kg. i spend about 20euro easy just on basic groceries for the week. trains are kind of pricey, 12euro for a return ticket from delft to amsterdam, and thats with a discount card which costs 55euro to buy. 600euro per month for rent and food and going out etc. and youre well covered. but everyone's spending is different...hope it helps a bit!
