Personal comments
Paying to open bank account. Choose Caisse d'Epargne - they don't charge. Drink wine (v.cheap) before you go out as drinks are VERY expensive in bars. Don't eat or drink in bars/cafes in Commerce - these are more expensive than the Quartier Bouffay.

Housing
Type of housing: Cite Universitaire (off campus)
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: With a family
Why?
The atmosphere in the halls is not very friendly and foreign students are generally not included in friendship groups with natives. Facilities are spartan at best and a family atmosphere would have been more conducive to language improvement.

I made really rapid progress and communicating after a couple of months was no problem at all. Each day I would often learn a new word or phrase as I spent most my time with French or Latin people.
