France offers a unique cultural wealth, but it is important to plan your budget, taking into account daily expenses, accommodation and leisure. With good financial management, your experience will be memorable on an academic level, but also on a personal level.

Housing
The cost of accommodation in France for students can vary depending on the city and location. In larger cities like Paris, rents tend to be higher, while more remote areas may offer more affordable options. Residence halls and shared accommodation are often popular choices for reducing costs. Students are advised to plan their budget carefully and explore different options to find the right balance.
You will need to count around €800 per month for the Paris region and around €500 per month for other regions.
