Living in Leiden

As expected, Europe is pretty expensive (as far as travel/dining). However, in Leiden there are several things to do for free - riding your bike through the city, exploring local museums with friends. As far as the social/nightlife scene, drinks are expensive at bars. If you want to have a party, you will have no problem finding an ample amount of people to hang out with - ISN (international student network) is a fantastic way to meet other students.
