Compared to Holland everything except the baguettes, the cheap champagne (90 euro cent in the hypermarket but a beer in a bar 5 euro!!) and cheaper clothing, was everything more expense.

Since July 2002 the flow of money between european countries is fee so I could extract money from a french ATM without extra costs! The banks charge you 30 euro fine when you close your bank account!! When you want to open an bank account use the CIC bank, it is the cheapest for students. When ariving in caen arrange a bank account right away; you cannot get your key (address) from the room agency without an insurance and you can only pay the insurance with a cheque which we do not have in holland, and you can not get a cheque from the bank because yo do not have a bankaccount and can not get it without proof of residence!!! TIP: Open the bank account first or else ask Sophie Collet from Sup Europe to sign a cheque for you so that you can pay her the amount in cash.

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

yes, there's an additional international student tax at the end off your stay where they don't tell you about in the beginning.
