The end of secondary studies marks the beginning of student life and coincides with the departure of your child from the family cocoon. This transitional period requires addressing many administrative issues, essential to a good start in student life. Discover our top 10 things to remember to help your child leave the nest with peace of mind!
Housing is the biggest step to adulthood. What choices do you have?
University accommodation is the most economical solution. There are two types:private residences or public CROUS residences. The accommodations are often furnished and the charges are included in the rent. Don't wait to apply, these very economical accommodations are usually taken by storm when you register!
Your child can also join a student or intergenerational roommate . Why not take a room with the locals as an au pair or home help? This will often be an opportunity to pay less rent in exchange for a few hours of service during the week.
You can also choose individual accommodation, but be aware that the rent will be higher and that you will often be asked for sometimes high guarantees!
Good news:the student social security system no longer exists since 2019! All students now depend on the general system, attached to their parents or independently. On the other hand, you will have to choose a student mutual fund to ensure proper reimbursement of medical expenses. If necessary, there are many mutuals perfectly adapted to the needs of your teenager on the market. Consult our student offer without further delay!
Trick ! If your resources are too low, do not deprive your child of health coverage. Make a request for Complementary Health Solidarity (CSS).
