The table compares the total amount of money students in universities of three different countries spent in 2007, and highlights percentages of their spendings on specific living costs.
Overall, what stands out from the table is that the first two countries (country A and B) were more expensive for studying people, with a slight difference in students’ annual spendings, while country C provided them conditions, with much more lower prices. Despite this, accommodation payments and expenditure on food took more than half of their income, in all given countries.
The total number of US dollars expended in one year was 5000 for Country A’s university students and 4500 for Country B’s student. For both countries the largest proportion was spent on apartment rantings, comprising 45 and 35 percentages respectively. In country A this figure was followed by food and leisure spendings, with 22% each (of their yearly budget). As for country B, students spent more than one-fourth of their income on food (28%) and less than the quarter on their hobbies (23%). Books and other payments cost for students in each country less than one-seventh of their total spendings.
In the third country, the largest amount of money was expended on food, with 36% of students’ annual income and less than one-third of annual spendings were for accommodation. Unlike the other two countries, there in country C, students spent 21% of their money on studying literature. They spent 12% of money at their out of university time, and only 1% for other remained living costs.
