It was not legal for me to work Personal spending habits:
I spent more everywhere largely because the Euro was worth somewhere around 1.5 Canadian dollars. But I probably spent the same amount on food because I found inexpensive grocery stores and snacked a lot less than I snack in Canada. Also, in Canada there are plenty of places to eat early in the morning after a night of drinking, but not in France - nothing is open past 2am. So I wasn't even able to waste money on food at those hours. Mobile phone plans are expensive, unless you get a year's contract, but I couldn't since I was only on exchange for a semester. And obviously I spent more on travel because I'd never been to Europe before so I took advantage. But transportation is very reasonably priced in Europe. Travel, Nightlife, Overall, Telephone, Housing: was more expensive than at home. Food: was the same price as at home.
Personal comments:
Banks are confusing in France and policies vary from branch to branch when it comes to how they deal with exchange students. Never trust anything anyone says. Stay on top of your finances at all times. I thought I had set up an electricity account through the bank and it never happened. The electricity company cut my power after two months and it was annoying sorting things out. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Phone calls are more expensive in France than in Canada. I also had a mobile (which I don't normally have at home), so that also contributed. I went out more often in Lyon. Travelling - well, I did as much as I could, including seeing more of France than most French people have, and a one-month adventure in Germany, Czech Republic, Austria and Switzerland. Travel, Nightlife, Overall, Telephone: was more expensive than at home. Food, Housing: was the same price as at home.
Personal comments:
You can get student discounts almost anywhere, be sure to bring your card. An interail pass is essential if you plan to do extensive travelling in several different countries. Get the 12-25 student rail card for train discounts within France. Tuesday night is cheap night at the movies. Go to the CAF and get your housing subsidy - it usually is worth one third of your total rent. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Living standards in France are very similar to UK so I did not find much difference in terms of expenses. It also depends on where you stay, therefore Lyon being a big city you would expect it to be more expensive than smaller towns.

I spent more on most those categories because I simply do not pay for any of those things when I am home. I tend stay home at night and on the weekends, I don't travel, and my parents provide me with housing and food. This experience for me was a great way to do a lot of things that I normally don't do and a great way for me to learn some financial responsibility while asserting my independence.

Personal comments:
Do not travel to France with travelers checks or buy euros from the US. The best thing to do is to travel with is take cash out using an ATM. You save a lot on the exchange rates that way. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Be prepared to pay more than expected for social security, insurance and residence deposits. Be sure that the insurance they are asking you to pay for is really necessary.

Personal comments:
Be aware of banks that take advantage of language to sign you up for options you don't want.I would also advise you to keep your bank account open until all that is due to you has been received or it could turn out quite tricky to get your money back.
