Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: To be immersed in the language

Overall
Language of instruction: English
Local language was: Different than language of instruction.
Was learning English a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't.
Was learning French a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my French
How much did you improve your French?
My level before: Did not speak it
My level after: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.)
Personal comments:
My classes were in english, so there was no problem understanding the teachers, and most of the french students at the University spoke some english, so we could communicate. It was hard to practice french in the city sometimes because people would recognize my accent and start answering me in english.

EXPENSES    
The accessibility of student needs
Second-hand text books
KEY:
Very easy.
Minimal effort.
Accessible but required effort.
Almost impossible.
Second-hand household items
Computers / Internet
Administrative
Money from home
Main source of funding:
Personal savings
Other sources of funding:
Government assistance
Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options
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.
Travel, Nightlife: was more expensive than at home.
Overall, Telephone, Housing: was the same price as at home.
Food: was less expensive than at home.
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.
