Personal spending habits

The nightlife was much more expensive because Nice is a big city and prices are always higher in the city for nightlife. I spent more in France on travel than I do at home because here at home i dont travel as often as i did there.

Personal comments

The ATM's will charge you a transaction fee for every withdrawl so i would withdraw the maximum amount of money i could and then leave it at home until i needed it cutting down on four or five more transaction fees.

I wish I had known...

Nice has a rock beach, though sand beaches are a fifteen minute bus ride in either direction.

In my opinion:

Everybody loved it, you will too!

Personal comments

It was actually quite hard in the beginning to learn or practice the local language as most of the teaching was in English and all class mates were international students who spoke English. However, with the help of French classes, French friends, by getting involved in the local life and with some effort I managed to improve my language skills and was able to communicate also in French.

The fact that you think, while you are abroad programme, that the friends you make from other countries will remain friends and maintain contact with them, but this is only the case about 10% of the time.

Go skiing in February (day trips are very inexpensive). Travel outside Nice to enjoy proper sandy beaches. Make an extra effort to meet the local people, they are generally quite friendly.
