Yes please . We need to go to last week ' s gameplan . Drop bombs on their ass , then use Fat Rob to churn out the TD . <| sep |> I ' m from Grenoble , my parents live here . So I ' ll give some bonus info . Skiing In Grenoble you can go to neighboring resorts like Chamrousse or 7 Laux with a 45 min bus ride for the day , the busski pass is around 25 and you have to add the ski rent I have my own so I ' m not sure but the cheapest are aroound 17 day , if you ' re willing to miss a class or don ' t have one on one day , it can be cheaper on a weekday . You can also go for a week end or even a week in bigger resorts but that ' s obviously more expensive . Students there ' s a lot of student in the city and the uni and many exchange . I shouldn ' t be hard to meet people . The city is not extraordinary , very few tourist spots most of it is pretty recent , but the mountains are cool . You can find enough bars , parks and restaurants in the center tho . You can go to Lyon 2 nd or 3 rd French City in 1 h car or 1 h 30 train and Paris in 6 h car for ~ 30 with carpooling , blablacar or 3 h 30 in train for 50100 . Geneva and Annecy are not far too and you can go in the south easily by car . There ' s also the biking option if you like it but that ' s another story . For other cities , you can take the plane in Lyon or Geneva , prices can vary wildly depending on the day . Also there are sometimes weekend organized within exchange programs in college to visit other cities . For the housing , you can check for an estimate of what you can get from the Caisse d ' Allocations Familiales , the site is in French . I did a fast estimate with the info you gave and it goes from 36 to 93 month depending on your exact case . Also is an english guide from another region , but that ' s should be the same thing . It usually takes a pretty long time for them to pay you but you ' re paid retroactively from the start of your administrative actions . In France a lot of stuff is cheaper with student ID , so be sure to get one from your uni as fast as possible .
