Don't go out clubbing. one drink will cost you over 10 euros whereas back in canada it is less than 5 dollars.
Wine is cheaper than water, drink wine instead ;) (kidding) Just focus on school and give yourself a break by going out, partying once in a while, not too much

In France all students can have a public grant for accomodation. That's not enormous, but it helps you.

Food is cheaper in France, so is accomodation at Cite. Nightlife is about the same but you tend to go out more. thus, you spend more.
