I am planning to go to Nice, France to study in September through
december. I am thinking about studying the intensive program at
Alliance Francais. However, I have never been to France before. I
would like to live in a shared appartment with other French students
in Nice. I have lived in a family on a language exchange program
before, and this time I would rather live with people my own age.

What should I expect to pay for a room in a shared appartment? Is Nice
a big student town, and would this be easy to obtain? What would be
the best way of obtaining it? I would not mind living in a hostel for
a few days while looking for an apartment.

How is the general price level in Nice? Any help (with answers to all
the questions above) will be greatly appreciated.

My Advice
Get some temporary accomodation as you suggested. Then frequent some
of the English style bars near the beach (you will have no problem
tracking them down)
Get to know the barstaff and they should have no problem in steering
you in the right direction. (These places may even be avertise for
student rentals)
