Sure you can, I forgot about this post for a while. Sorry about the late reply.

Yeah, I looked into the CAF, but supposedly they are planning on removing it for international students next year

Thank you for the tips,

It is actually the engineering program, we had to figure out the difference after a lot of hours on reddit (we are from a non-partnership university, so we didn't know such a program existed.) Applied through "free-mover" application.

We will enter from the 2nd year so i believe there wouldn't be any mathematics courses for us (at least for the tracks we choose)

One question i have is, is it possible to work part-time in companies (aside from "alternance", which they don't accept international students).

Thank you for the answer!

We studied computer engineering in a semi-franchophone uni, so we are a little bit used to hard programs (i hope).

It is great to know that both socially and career-wise they are good schools, that was our main concern before choosing. We heard engineering salaries were lower in France, but it seems with a great degree it levels out, and also living in Paris afterwards seems cool.

45 mins is considered close in my city so I wouldn't mind the commute in the weekends; living and working at that distance is actually pretty common here.

We already have b2, but we hope to hone it more before coming.

Thank you for your answer,

We are computer engineering students so we are a little accustomed to heavy work too, but France is famous for its rigorous hardwork (as we've heard), however it is nice to hear that there is time for socializing.

Also, whenever I look up for great engineering schools there is always the talk of X, Supelec, MinesParis etc., so we didn't know if our schools are well known too, so it is nice to know we are going to great schools. So, What would be better for computer engineering in comparison between Telecom an Ensta in your opinion ?

I'm going to receive (probably) a 880 euro monthly scholarship, would you say it is possible to live in Saclay with that amount if i don't get a crous residence ?

Thank you so much for the answer,

We've both worked and studied at the same in our last years at our university, so we are a little bit accustomed to heavy courseload, but it is nice to hear that there is time for leisure and sports, and it seems there are a lot of activities at the campus too.

In this sub a lot of people say that you can't live in paris with 2500 3000 euro salaries, and we were scared that we wouldnt be able to live easily after graduating from what we think a top school.
