Any advice that you want to give to future students in Paris?

That they go to Paris and stay in a hostel called BUREAU des VOYAGES de la JEUNESSE. It's well located and doesn't cost much. Regarding restaurants, only eat subways and don't eat in restaurants so you can go to more places. Transport is expensive.
