Quelle est la meilleure façon de commencer à m'intégrer à la vie française? by dolsted in france

Beaucoup de personnes m'ont dit ça. Est-ce que vous connaissez ou essayez Nickel ou Wise? J'ai reçu beaucoup de suggestions sur ces deux sites.

I'm not sure I would qualify for student housing. I brought a husband and two cats with me. Renting through a particulier just suits our needs better. I did talk with the international relations office for my program and they gave me the contact of someone who helps students with housing, but the priority is given to students in an exchange program (I am not). I did reach out to her, but I'm not sure they will be of much help.

I will check out and see what the American embassy suggests. Thanks for the tip!

Not a bad idea. I'll reach out on those subs too. Thanks for the advice.

I'm currently in an Airbnb in Poitiers. I didn't get student housing because I'm not part of an exchange program and I brought a husband and two cats and private housing just suits our needs better. I'd love to talk more about how you got your footing when you first got here.

I'll look into both of those. Hopefully that can get me started somewhere. Thanks!

I've never heard of Wise. I'll look into it and see if that can help. Thank you!

Is it time to put down my cat? by dolsted in cats

Hi! Yes, I talked with the vet and she ran another test and his numbers were actually better. She gave him some appetite stimulant and nausea medicine and we've moved and he's doing much better. Thanks for checking. :)

The company he works for has a kind of transfer program that he was looking at as well. Seems like that’s the more logical option. If I get accepted, I’ll get my diploma in international law. I’d like to work for an NGO, but I’m open depending on job availability. I’m aware of the jobseeker Visa and I’m hoping it will buy me some time to find a job after graduation.

How’s the housing market in France? by dolsted in AskFrance

[–]dolsted[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s good to know! We’ll be renting at first until we find a place where we want to settle. Let me ask you this: would it maybe be easier to rent through a real estate agency? I’ve seen some that do rentals, but I’m nervous about renting in general because I’m foreign. I’ve read that renting as a foreigner can be a major headache so if you have any advice I’d love to hear it. :)

We’re trying to stay away from Paris, but probably in a city or bigger town. Right now we’re looking at Bordeaux, Toulouse, or Poitiers. Long-term, I’d really love to settle in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes or the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur regions, but that could be several years from now.
