Re: is it cheap in paris?

Depends on where you're coming from. Compared to many other major cities in Europe, Paris is expensive. It's over 2 Euros a ride on the metro, and a beer is around 4 Euros, to give you an idea. There are always ways to do things cheaply, go to museums/galleries with your student / artist discount, buy and cook your food from the grocery store, or check out the Luxembourg Gardens which is a beautiful site in the Latin Quarter. I do think the beauty of Paris, more than anything, is just walking around and taking a coffee somewhere, which is cheap!
