a residence tax which is approximately one month rent.
THE 1ST MONTH’S EXPENSES:
• Generally, when you rent a room/flat, the owner will ask you to pay a guarantee (approximately one month’s rent). You will get it back
at the end of your stay if you leave your accommodation as it was.
• Whatever the type of accommodation you are going to occupy, an INSURANCE POLICY for renting a property is obligatory to insure
your accommodation in case of fire, explosion, or water damage... When you arrive in France you will be able to contact student mutual
organisations such as SMERRA (www.smerra.fr/) or LMDE (www.lmde.com) and some banks and insurance companies. Cost between 30
and 100€ per year.
• Before you can rent an accommodation in France, the rental agency or landlord will ask you to provide a rent guarantor, a third party
who agrees to pay your rent if you do not. In France, it is customary for a potential tenant to ask a parent to be their rent guarantor. If you
do not have any family or close friends in France to fulfill this role, and the agency or landlord requires you to provide a rent guarantor,
the French government offers an alternative solution: the VISALE service. (www.visale.fr/#!/visale.locataire)
• Depending on your accommodation, don’t forget to add: electricity,
water, gas and/or Internet costs...

SOCIAL SECURITY:
• Students from a member state of the European Economic Area (see p.3):
Before your arrival, apply for your European Card of Health insurance (free and obligatory) from your affiliated
national health insurance provider. This card is free and compulsory for registering you at the University.
When you visit a doctor or a specialist in France, you have to pay your consultation. It will be then - partly (70%
on average) - reimbursed by the social security, under the French social security system reimbursement terms
and conditions.
Having the card doesn’t mean you will be entirely reimbursed. The remaining part of healthcare expenses can
be covered by a complementary health insurance, called a « mutuelle ».
• Students from outside the European Economic Area (see p.3):
> If you are less than 28 years old: you have the obligation to become affiliated to the French students so-
cial security, before your registration at the university on the website AMELI. It is free of charge. (https://etu-
diant-etranger.ameli.fr/#/)
When you visit a doctor or a specialist in France, you have to pay your consultation. It will be then – partly (70%
on average) - reimbursed by the social security, under the French social security system reimbursement terms
and conditions.
> If you are more than 28 years old: a health insurance is obligatory but you cannot become affiliated to the
French students’ social security.
> The Students from Québec, upon presentation of the form SE401Q-(102 or 106), benefit on the spot from a
coverage of their healthcare costs.
www.etudiant.gouv.fr
COMPLEMENTARY INSURANCE:
In all cases, medical cares are partly reimbursed by the French social security. We advise all students to buy a com-
plementary insurance to cover all your health expenses, especially in case of hospitalization. This IS NOT OBLIGATORY
BUT VERY USEFUL: without this covering, the costs remaining at your expense can be very high. Note that hospitaliza-
tion or dental cares are very bad reimbursed by the social security. Not having such a cover is risky.
Variable price: between 5 and 35€/month.
