Look up the Battle of France. France was forced into seeking an armistice agreement or face even more grave losses than they already suffered. Paris would have been reduced to rubble.

Even first-time visitors to France and students enrolled in the first year of postsecondary education enjoy the right to work. The work week in France (annually averaged) is 35 hours. French law allows international students to work no more than 884 hours in a given year. That translates to half-time employment (19.5 hours per week) during the academic year and full-time during vacations. Supplementing your income by working while studying is a common practice. You won't be able to meet all of your expenses by working half-time, but you should be able to earn extra spending money. The minimum hourly wage in France (known as the SMIC, for salaire minimum interprofessionnel de croissance) is 8,27 Euros gross, that is, before withholding of mandatory social-benefit taxes, which come to approximately 20 percent of the gross payment. That gives you around 500 Euros a month. You have the possibility to apply for a room at one of the campuses however there is a huge shortage of rooms, count 10 applications per room. You can share an appartment with others, expect a very small appartment in one of the poorest areas of Paris if you try to survive with only 500 Euros, and only noodles for a whole year. What with transportation, stationary, electricity etc (and that's without university fees) you won't be able to afford a sandwich. http://www.campusfrance.org/en/a-etudier/etudes02-1.htm International students have the right to work in France if they have a residency permit and are enrolled in an institution that participates in the student health plan of the French social protection system (Sécurité Sociale).

Food and travel are not too expensive in Paris (compared to London !!), the accomodation and the nights out are. To survive in Paris without too great expectations, you must have at least 600-700 euros per month. And i'm afraid that finding a job in France is harder than in England, so you should save some money before going there, just in case... But if you are a student you should be allowed to live in the "cité universitaire", i think you call them campus in English. It's the accomodation provided for students, and they are less expensive.

Whenever there's an activity at school that provides free food go there. Avoid spending money on things you could have taken from the U.S. like clothes & shoes. As far as I know you can only work if you have a work VISA and students don't work, but maybe you can get a paid internship or find a job that pays cash like babysitting.

Somewhat expensive? Are you from Oslo? hehe Paris is among the most expensive cities in the world. How to survive? Bring your credit cards and remember that they can be a lifesaver and not to be abused. Save $ by NOT eating out. If you can get a French friend with a car to drive you to Auchan, tu peut gagner bcp (yeah a real French abbreviation dating back to before texting) d'argent! Auchan is like a Walmart supercenter, only larger. Something that no tourist books ever mention. Also, bring the clothes you will need (US clothes are much cheaper than French clothes), wear them to death and do not be afraid to wear the same clothes 2 or even 3 days in a row.

It is so full of practical advice and solid information on what to do and when and how to do it. <br /> <br />Because of the availability of lower cost editing applications today, many young people become quite technically savvy with the software even before they leave high school.
