Websites for me!

So next step is to get financial thingo:
I have heard different things but the second website below (etudiantdeparis.fr) says:
"You will need at least €750 per month if you are to enjoy reasonable living conditions in Paris."

Currently in Australian money that is $1 018.38966.

Okay I have currently about $11,500 now. So $13 000- $1 018.39*6 - $3000(flights) = $1 892
apparently.

According to another article I read on the same website about planning your budget:
"you will need at least €800 to €900 per month"

900EUR =$ 1222.06759
Okay so this amount gets my account to $668
The Article mentions other costs as well.

"CERTIFICATION OF YOUR VISA BY OFII (non European students only) :
55€"

Compulsary medical insurance is: 200 EUR.


Cool, cool. I sneakily printed off a cover page for my documents folder for my exchange at work. Unfortunately not in colour, but still pretty enough.
