General information for students
Cost of living |
|
|
The cost of living for students in France
is one of the cheapest in the Western World.
When students are planning their budget
they should divide their expenses into 2 categories
:
 |
Their regular living expenses on a
monthly basis : about 500 Euros. |
|
The additional expenses associated
with traveling, living and studying
in a foreign country which are not included
in the regular monthly expenses (tourism,
leisure activities, rent deposit, Student
Union's subscription…).
For students
from countries outside the European Economic Area, there is a compulsory health insurance coverage
which costs 180 Euros per
year.
Students from Quebec and Switzerland are entitled to the same health coverage as French students, if they provide us with the appropriate document duly validated by the authorities of their country of origin, (see section on "health & welfare"). |
Students should make sure to have either Travelers'
Checks (which are useful when opening
a bank account), or an International Credit
Card (Visa or MasterCard). Whichever type
of accommodation they choose, they will have
to pay rent and a deposit when they
arrive. If possible, they should make photocopies
of the official documents required (see 2.2.1.)
They must not forget to bring the brochures,
maps of Troyes and bus routes which were sent
to them : they may need them on arrival.
They must remember to bring some bed sheets
and a few kitchen utensils.
