Hi  Everyone,
                      I don't think myself to be capable of giving advice to other but I can suggest some ways to
adjust in the new place.First of all  try to speak French from the beginning otherwise your condition will be
like me.......only to guess what one can ask me and reply in 'oui' or 'non'.To find a residence you can take
help of Crous  and when you get your residence apply for CAF as soon as possible because they are very
slow to reply.There are many super markets when you can get everything but there is also open market from
where you can get fresh vegetables and fruits.It is in Place Roger Salengro.You are in South of France so
you got  opportunity to enjoy the beauty of some places very close to Montpellier like Sete, Nimes ,Arles
and also Barcelona.After spending  sometimes in Montpellier you will be able  to acquire knowledge about
Montpellier and you will be able to advise the new students.
