From what I know about travel (have not been to Europe), major places like hotels will take dollars. But smaller shops and restaurants might not, even in Paris. Definitely not in the "countryside". Besides, you might get ripped on the exchange rate. Better safe than sorry - convert to Euros and travelers checks before you go. You can always re-convert to dollars when you get back to US

Bring or get euros. Your Canadian money is no good here. No offence. Take care

well,it really depends on the city you're going to live and the studio you rent and how much you spend... so it's hard to estimate.guessing you're going to Paris,maybe about 700 Euros would be enough for a very average life. and if you already don't know,CAF will return about half of rental price that you pay to you. Bonne Chance

Going to France as an exchange student?
Going to France as an exchange student?
In about a year I'm going to France as an exchange student. Are the French more laid back, and quiet? Or is it alright to be my loud self? Do you kiss everyone you meet? Or just when you're being introduced by a friend? What should I expect?

They keep to themselves. Not just in Paris but even in the small towns. And you dont kiss everyone you meet. You kiss only people you know. You should expect to be in a culture war. You have a large population of Islams, the modern kids, and the wealthy conservative people. They are constantly at war it seems. Protest and riots are a daily thing for the french. Also, be ready for people to keep away from you if you are american. Even after living there for 6 months, the French can tell who is not from France and automatically have a biased against them. Even the police have a bias.

If you have a student visa for France valid for 6 months, then you can travel in and out of France during that 6 months without any problem. Whether you need a visa for your destination country or not after travelling out from France during that period, that's dependent on where you're going. As far as I know, Singaporean passport holders can go to any country within the Schengen zone without a visa for short stay anyway. Singapore nationals can also go to UK and Ireland (which are not part of Schengen travel agreement) and USA for short visits without visa. You can always check for visa requirements through this weblink (http://www.skyteam.com/about/travelhelp/travelinfo.html ) or through the relevant embassy/consulate webpages.

When you hold a student visa (type D) for France for six months you may travel to other Schengen countries for 90 days in a 180 day period on your Singapore passport. SInce your free weekends and holidays will not exceed 90 days I assume you are good to go. Concerning the non-Schengen countries you do not need a visa to travel to Andorra, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Ireland, Liechtenstein, F.Y.R.o.Macedonia, Monaco, Montenegro, Romania, San Marino, Serbia, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and Vatican City. For Albania you are authorized to travel for one month visa-free by paying an entrance fee of รข‚¬10.00 For Belarus, Moldova, Russia, and the Ukraine you will need a visa.
