Nightlife is extremely expensive on the Cote D'Azur so expect to spend at least 40-50 euro a week on socail activities. Housing was 250 euro a month. Traval was more expensive because I chose to travel around France and the rest of europe. This included paying hostels and buying a eurorail pass for $800.

In a trip to England I could not use my french credit card. Problem solved thanks to friends. Cost saving tips: Buy your own food and learn to cook mainly if you are in France, enjoy the wine.
