Is France a very expensive country for a student?
I'm supposed to go to either of France, Netherlands or Spain for my 6 week internship. I cant figure out where to go. I should be considering the december january weather too into concern along with the living cost. Is France really that expensive, or is it just Paris?

L'endroit l'endroit l'endroit: it all depends on the location I currently live in france and have been living here for quite some time; if your from the states and you like to cook you will fall in love with the prices of vegatables (a pack of stop light peppers (huge) for a euro) meat is more expensive (originally from VA) alcohol in bar more expensive (average pint is 5euros= 7 30ish dollars) alcohol outside a bar fairly equal or cheaper rent is fairly equal but ive been to all three but have only live in france as a student and as a teacher will you be using language for your internship, if so choose france or spain, if not Netherlands is an amazing country (more expensive) spain is the cheapest, and France has the most culture...if you come to france, learn the basics of the language, with the youth they will love you anyways, certain from the older generations may not be as welcoming however. in the other two you will feel very welcomed most of the time Good luck!

Have you learned any French or Spanish? I think that is worth considering. You can survive six weeks of winter in any of those countries, but Spain will have the best winter weather I'm guessing. If you are paying your own expenses, then Spain is good due to lower costs.

I too got an offer to join the People to People Student Ambassador program a few years ago. I regreat that i never went but it was just too much money. I'm prety sure it costs over $70,000 this year. You can funraise the money but i didn't. Most people who get offered are rich or come from rich families. Good Luck Hope this helps!

student traveling in France for two weeks?
student traveling in France for two weeks?
I'll be in Paris in January with my family, then they are heading back to the states and I'll be traveling on my own for two weeks. I want to see France, but I'm on a limited budget (I'm a student). Any itinerary suggestions that won't break my bank? I was thinking about staying towards the south where it will be warmer, but I'm open to suggestions of going other places, I don't mind the cold much (as long as it's not horrible, I want to be able to walk around and sight-see lots). Thanks :)

France is the biggest country in Europe which means you have to choose no more than two different areas to visit, especially if you are on budget. Travel by train, there's special prices for travellers and young people and it is cheaper than travel by car and faster than coaches (For example: Carte 12-25, cost 50 Euros, you get between 25 to 50% discount on train tickets). If you're really tight then coaches is the best. In the cities take the bus, that's normal transport for us and it is cheap. If you want to go south you could take the high speed train TGV Paris - Lyon. Visit Lyon. Then from Lyon TGV to Avignon. Visit Avignon. Then to Marseille. Visit. Then you can go along the coast up to Monaco and Nice, and then back to Paris in five hours with the TGV. Or at Avignon go westward to Nimes, Carcassone... If you want to stay further north, you can go to Caen, visit the war museum, the D-Day beaches, go down to visit the St Michael mount, go back to Paris through the Valley of the Loire and the Renaissance castles... So many things to visit... This site can help you refine your search. http://www.planetware.com/tourist-attractions/france-f.htm Have a nice trip.

There are many different types of programs. If the one you are looking into is an even swap, just find another one where you will not have to be the host. There are plenty of them around. Go to your schools guidance counselor and ask. Google search "afs".
