SUP Europe Caen (CESEC)

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.

don't buy book... first semester the course coordinator forces you to buy the book, but i did not buy the book. spending a lot of money for 2 weeks course. don't do that if you want to save money because the teachers are going to give you slide presentation which is important for the exam

Admin charges. Furniture/electricals. Try to buy second hand. Also make sure you bring clothes as they are expensive.

Please do not bring your SIM card from your home country and do not use them because you will be charged for roaming cost.

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.
