Always investigate flight costs to parts of Europe from France, it can be really cheap, or equal to the price of riding the train.

Personal spending habits
I spent more in all of these categories because of the difference in the U.S. dollar/euro exchange rate, and also because my living location and the nightlife tends to be expensive in general.

The exchange rate was not good for the U.S. dollar, which really adds up when you consider how much you are spending. I would suggest buying groceries as much as possible as opposed to dining out, and spend less money at the bar by indulging in French wine that can be cheaper than water.

As at home I live with my parents, I dont pay rent or for my food. Nightlife and travel was cheaper in France, so I spent less, even though I went out more.

Careful, at first you will be tempted to eat out a lot. By the middle of your stay, everyone will be eating pasta in their dorms. think ahead and spend frugally at first. You'll be happy when everyone catches up to your mindset.
