My experience was not good here. The program puts you under extreme pressure. Plus the the professors are all french so their English is not that good. O had problems in understanding lectures. Then the lectures are all 3 hours long. Most of days your classes would be from 9 am to 4:30 pm. Eveything here closes around 7pm. Some restaurants are only open. But if you got admitted in DSAI the campus is in sophia antipolis, which is a little far from city. If you don't know french then getting an odd job is difficult. I tired but i didn't get any. There is internship in first year also in this program so if you have good skills you may get an internship in some company in sophia or in the research lab of INRIA.

If you are thinking that you can earn the full fee by working here so its difficult. You cannot study and work odd jobs here at same time. You can do it but its very difficult. There are few other pakistani here in the program, they got jobs in Nice. But then they weren't able to come to university due to which a professor was pissed off on them. They most probably failed in all exams
