you will definitely have savings on your budget, as people are saying rent is the one you can save on but it will be down to personal choice, I myself like something a bit nicer so if this is your preference you can go higher but if not a problem you could get something cheaper. Also depends on the area.
now I don’t think my application to Dakar went through because I’d already applied to the French embassy. I’ll have to wait for it to be rejected then go fir Dakar again.
