  • My experience with the CAF: grant for accommodation in France

    What is it? For those that don't know, when you go to study in France, whether on Erasmus or not, you can apply for a grant called CAF (Caisse d'allocations familiales). Normally, I think the CAF offers different types of grants to french students, but in our case...

  • My house for a while

    I arrived in Strasbourg on 26th March, on a cold evening, and I didn't know what to expect. Everything was organised through a website, which seemed safe and all, but you never know, and if it wasn't for the agency I would ask myself if I had made a mistake with this...

  • How to Get Around Strasbourg

    Hi everyone! Today I'm going to tell you about the ways you can get around Strasbourg. Car The first and most obvious way is by car. There are students who bring their car here with them to be able to get around easier but I don’t think it's the best option since...

  • Strasblog Part Seventeen

    Hello once again! Sorry for the delay on this latest part of the Strasblog, this excuse is going down once again to the fact that I wasn’t very well... not just cough and sneeze not well, more like stomach bug unwell. I was out of action for the best part of last...

  • Strasblog Part Sixteen

    Salut! How are we all? It’s been a while (indeed well before Christmas) since I was last truly settled in Strasbourg, but now I can safely say that last week saw a return to the norm. No more gallivanting across Europe, and no more breaks back home in the UK. Nope,...

    Morning all! You may have been wondering where my last two Strasblogs have gone... well, it’s quite a simple excuse really. Put simply, apart from two or three events my last two weeks in Strasbourg before Christmas were not especially exciting. I could have bored you...

    Bonjour! How are we all? This week began, as always, with my seven hour day and the pain-inducing four hour seminar in the evening (well this week was three-and-a-half hours... I accidentally turned up half an hour late... clearly my timing is not at its best at the...

  • Strasblog Part Three: Into the Third Week!

    As I sat down to compose this blog, paused to think of the things I had done this week, a thought cropped into my head... "haven’t I just published a part? Like yesterday?" The answer of course is no, I revealed Part Two last Sunday. But the fact that last Sunday...
