Personal spending habits

Food simply is a bit more expensive than where I normally live, and the same goes for the housing. As for travel, I went home a couple of times, plus that in my home country we get a public transport card from the government as students, in my host university I had to finance the travel from home to school myself.

Overall, Travel, Food, Housing:

was more expensive than at home.

Telephone, Nightlife:

was the same price as at home.

Accessibility of student needs

Second-hand text books

Second-hand household items

Money from home

Personal comments

If you can avoid opening a bank account, do. A french bank account simply costs money, and although they advise you to open one, I could've easily done without.

The activites organized by the student associations of the school are great, shouldn't miss even one. Best part: a beer is so cheap that even the poorest student can afford it.
