As a college student, I spent a semester in Rome, then met up with friends and backpacked for two weeks before heading back to the U.S. Being students, we didn't have a lot of extra cash (especially at the end of the semester), but were able to travel affordably with rail passes from Vienna to Amsterdam. We purchased our passes directly from Eurail, but you can also buy them from other reputable providers such as RailEurope, RailPass.com, Rail Connection, or your travel agent.
If you're only exploring one country, you can often find a pass solely for intra-country transportation, either through the providers listed above or the country's rail service, such as BritRail, Deutsche Bahn, and Polrail. Be sure to compare point-to-point tickets (fares and schedules can easily be found online) against the pass prices to ensure you purchase the right type of tickets for your trip.
