As cost-saving tips, only one simple advice: stay on campus as much as it is possible. You will save a lot on food, drinks, telephone bills. A cheaper supermaket is just 500m from the campus, do your shopping in Attac.

If you study in France you might be eligible to a an accomodation support from the French authorities, the socalled CAF. Requires quite a bit of administrative work, but is worth it if you finally get it.

Work opportunities:
I worked during my study abroad experience
Personal spending habits
- I travelled more than I would in a normal semester
- I did more sight seeing
- night life in Paris is more expensive in Vienna and since we needed a taxi to get back to campus (about 15 € per person per night) it was all in all more expensive

It was a very nice surprise that we didn't have to pay at all for text books, we received them all for free, before the classes.
The best tip for cost-saving could be to share your room with a friend.

Open a bank account in France, then you can apply for the CAF, a financial housing support from the state.
