Personal comments:
Apply for the carte de sejour as this will allow you to claim half your rent back. If you planning on having a few drinks, alcolol is very cheap in the supermarkets. Take some of the cheap bus trips to visit the surrounding areas.

Personal comments:
BNP Paribas was not a good bank to open an account with, it was tough to find cheap and appropriate cooking utensils / bedding (try TATI - a low price shop next to St. Sebastien shopping centre).

Food was less thanks to prix fixe menus and student restaurants. Telephone was more because I was calling international. Travel is cheeper if you take the train and buy a "carte 12-25" which gives you 50% reductions.
