Landing a part-time job is strict in Masters in Data Science.
Tips: The first thing students should do is to start learning French. Despite the course being in English to be integrated into the country, you must speak at least A2/B1 level of French. There are 2 major scholarships offered by Campus France which are Eiffel and Charpak. The university also offers an Excellence scholarship and the same goes for the 2nd year at HEC. For France in general, you can apply to CAF which is the rent subsidy and it pays almost 40-60% of your rent.
Likes (Public transportation): There are buses available within a 5-minute walk from the campus that will take you to the nearest stores or the train station. There is also the RER station Lozere. The nearest RER line is B, and you can use it to go directly to Paris, including the Eiffel Tower and Gare du Nord, which is the best place to find Indian groceries and restaurants. The cost of the tickets varies, but as a student under 26 years old, you can get an Imagine-R pass for around 40 Euros a month that allows unlimited use of any mode of transportation.
Dislikes (Part time work): Due to the intensity of my course, getting a part-time job is strictly forbidden. There are a few on-campus job opportunities, but in most of them, you need to grasp French. Also, this is just for my course, and you cannot work as a TA however, other courses may differ.
