Budgeting for Paris as an International Student

Paris can be affordable with the right planning. CROUS/shared housing is often €400–€800/month; private studios trend higher. Transport passes are student-friendly; many offset costs with 20h/week part-time roles.

We benchmark total cost of attendance so you know what to expect before you land. Need a personalized budget? We can plan line items, guarantor options, insurance, and CAF eligibility.

• Housing: apply early for CROUS or consider shared flats to lower rent.
• Scholarships and alternance: can dramatically reduce net costs.
• Location: compare tuition + city living costs, not just headline fees.
