Main source of funding:

Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options
Personal spending habits:
I spent more in all of these categories because of the difference in the U.S. dollar/euro exchange rate, and also because my living location and the nightlife tends to be expensive in general.
Food, Travel, Nightlife, Overall, Telephone, Housing: was more expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
The exchange rate was not good for the U.S. dollar, which really adds up when you consider how much you are spending. I would suggest buying groceries as much as possible as opposed to dining out, and spend less money at the bar by indulging in French wine that can be cheaper than water.

Careful, at first you will be tempted to eat out a lot. By the middle of your stay, everyone will be eating pasta in their dorms. think ahead and spend frugally at first. You'll be happy when everyone catches up to your mindset.
