The French Government grants housing benefit, administered by the Caisse d’allocations familiales (CAF), to students under 28 who pay rent (including for a room in a Hall of residence, a hostel, in a family home or flat-share) provided they have their name on the lease. The allowance can be up to 220 euros per month. Further information about the scheme is available on our accommodation page.
Most high street banks in the UK have special student offers, including an interest-free overdraft. Please note that student accounts in France do not offer this, so make the most of the possibility of borrowing money for free by opening a student account before you leave the UK.
Many students get a part-time job to help with their living expenses. This can make a big difference to a student budget and is a great way to develop your CV, as it gives you transferable skills that can help when applying for jobs. You should however limit the number of hours that you work during term-time, so that your studies do not suffer. General guidance is that 20 hours per week work is the maximum hours of work that should normally be considered by any student; however care should be taken even with a lower number of hours. It is often recommended that undergraduate students should limit part-time work to no more than 10 hours per week. Students should also think very carefully about accepting work during unsociable hours (e.g. in late-night bars) as this can have a detrimental effect on attendance and academic performance.
If you're a UK student with a disability, mental-health condition, long-term health condition or learning difficulty, you can apply for Disabled Students' Allowances (DSAs) through Student Finance.
