Personal comments
I tried to be with French natives so that I use the language, I avoided the groups of only foreign students and I approached the French society within the University. They are very warm and welcoming as long as you are nice and friendly to them too.

Overall
I wish I had known...
I WOULD NOT STAY IN THE FIRST DORMITORY GIVEN TO ME BY THE UNIVESRITY. IT WAS VERY COLD, LONEY AND IN A BAD AREA. I WAS KUCKY AND SOON MOVED WITH A FAMILY.

Final comments
STAYING WITH THE FAMILY IS THE BEST THING TO DO IN THE BEGINNING WHEN EVERYTHING IS NWE, THEY CAN REALLY HELP YOU AND ONE IS FAR MORE SAFE.
I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND TO LOOK FOR AN APPARTMENT IN AN UNKNOWN REGION IN THE CITY WITHOUT CHECKING FIRST IF THE AREA IS SAFE, HAS A GOOD REPUTATION.
HANG AROUND WHERE THERE ARE A LOT OF STUDENTS AND TRY TO MAKE FRIENDS FROM FRENCH GROUPS.THE KEY TO THIS IS TO BE OPEN, NICE, FRIENDLY AMD FUN.

Personal comments
DO NOT GO OVER YOUR LIMIT IF HAVING A BANK ACCOUNT WITHOUT MAKING SURE THAT THE BANK WILL NOT CHARGE YOU EACH TIME YOU TAKE MONEY OVERDRAFT. IT CAN BE VERY COSTLY, MAKE SURE THEY SECURE A LIMIT FOR YOU AND THEY LET YOU KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE NO MONEY IN THE SAVINGS ACCOUNT.
