Personal comments
Going out at night with a bottle of wine to the pont des arts is always nice. Likewise the Seine. Hanging out in summer is cool. Lots of good places for dancing, but alcoholic drinks cost a bomb. You can't go out and get drunk if you want to have money left over.

Phone bills were through the roof... but the metro is reasonable and reliable. Drinking is cheap too and accomodation no dearer than Dublin.

Drink Bon Prix cider. Avoid the Champs and any so called latino bars at all costs. Look out of open bars, best deal in Europe.

I spent more on food and travel because these were opportunities which I do not have in New York. I spent less on the telephone and housing because these are typically cheaper in Paris than in NY.

Buy a carte Imagine-R (the student rail pass): it costs half the price of a carte orange. Get it as quickly as possible. Shop at Monoprix if you have money, or Leader Price if you don't. I hate Franprix.

Personal comments
The University Paris IV-Sorbonne doesn't help much with the accomodation but fortunately, I had help from the German Bureau for Academic Exchange DAAD who provided all necessary information.
