In addition, the prices of school dormitories are a little different, depending on a type of them. Next, calculation of tuition.
It is good to choose the house which is introduced by the school. Please make sure if they are responsible. If they are, it means that the place should be good to study.
You should be careful of a home-stay in France. It is not what you are thinking. Normally they accept students to make some money. We recommend you to avoid it if possible.
Usually you need the deposit, the reward, the guarantee, and four months of the rent.
