Take out large amouts from ATMs as they charge, not much but it's more cost effective if you get large amounts.

Overall
I wish I had known...
That I would be billed for having caused a bit of a mess in my corridor at a party! Clean up before they have time to inspect the next day! Also, if I'd known the students have so many barbeques I would have brushed up my cooking skills!

Get involved! Don't live on your own. Chose a flat share. Don't hang around with people from your university - integrate. Sup Europe is great fun!

Final comments
Don't worry about things before you go. Caen is a lovely wee town and the students are great! Portsmouth is only a ferry ride away and is cheap if you're a foot passenger so it's easy to get to the UK if you fancy a weekend at home. You'll have a great time in Caen!

Personal comments
The company who rented Euro Residence were very strict and inclined to over react if you had a party charging you for any cleaning that was needed after it! Other than that, the residence was great. You can choose from studio rooms, two or three bedroom flats.

Why Not, an Irish pub at the harbour but I can't remember the name. Don't miss the Sunday market in town. Sup Europe students organise loads of social events.
