I answer the following question concerning the average cost of living for a student in France

To easily find an alumnus in my current country of residence, I will need to create an account on LinkedIn. This social network will be particularly useful for my future professional endeavors.

Once I am registered on the platform, I will search for alumni in my current country of residence using various existing filters. The most relevant filters will be "school," where I can enter the name of the component to which I have been admitted (ENSE3, ENSIMAG, ESISAR, Génie Industriel, IAE, Pagora, Phelma, Polytech), and the "Location" filter, where I can enter the country in which I am conducting my search.

From there, several profiles will be displayed, and it will be up to me to choose whom I decide to get in touch with.

To confirm the mission, I upload a screenshot showing who I decided to contact.

Recommended Steps :

• Prepare with Required Documents: Gather all necessary documents such as your passport, visa, proof of residence in France, a financial resource statement, and passport-sized photos.
• Access the Online Application Portal: Go to the official ANEF - Administration Numérique des Étrangers en France website to create an account and access the application form: ANEF Portal.
• Complete the Application Form: Fill out the online form accurately. Ensure that you enter all required information, including your personal details, duration and purpose of stay, as well as your residence address.
• Upload Supporting Documents: Scan and upload all necessary documents on the platform. Check that each document is legible and meets the requirements.
• Submit the Application and Track Progress: Once your application is submitted, monitor your personal space to track its progress. You will receive a temporary receipt confirming that your application is being processed.

Here are the main tips:

- I prioritize homemade meals over ready-made or fast foods. Buying fruits, vegetables, meat, and cooking at home is cheaper than eating out.

- If I crave fast food, I go there in person rather than getting my food delivered.

- I prepare large quantities of food to avoid cooking every day and minimize waste. If I live in a shared accommodation, I buy groceries in bulk and share the expenses.

- I compare prices before making purchases.

I do my grocery shopping in large supermarkets rather than small convenience stores. I take note that the cheapest supermarket chains on average in France are E.Leclerc, Lidl, and Aldi. The most expensive ones are Monoprix, Auchan, and Casino

I find the correct answers to the following quiz.

Here are the points I need to pay attention to:

1. Evaluate the work schedule: When searching for a student job, carefully review the proposed work schedules. Choose a job that offers flexible hours and can be adjusted to your academic timetable. Avoid jobs that require frequent overtime or have schedules that are incompatible with your classes.
2. Communicate your availability: When applying for a student job, make sure to clearly communicate your availability and any constraints related to your studies. Discuss with your potential employer your academic schedule and the need to maintain a balance between work and studies.
3. Manage your workload: Before accepting a student job, carefully assess the associated workload. Make sure it is reasonable and compatible with your academic commitments. Avoid taking on excessive responsibilities that could exhaust you and prevent you from focusing on your studies.
4. Plan your time: Establish good planning practices to optimize your time and avoid conflicts between work and studies. Create a detailed schedule that includes your class hours, academic assignments, work hours, and moments of rest. This will help you visualize your workload and efficiently organize your time.
5. Prioritize your well-being: Give paramount importance to your well-being and maintaining a work-life balance. Ensure you schedule time for rest, relaxation, and leisure activities to recharge yourself. Identify your priorities and avoid overloading your schedule at the expense of your mental and physical health.
6. Be flexible and adaptable: Student life can be unpredictable, and it's important to be flexible and adaptable. If you encounter difficulties in balancing your student job and studies, don't hesitate to discuss with your employer to find solutions that work for everyone.
