According that you're still under the E.U legislation for the next three years, it's facilitate day to day life.

For smartphone, most of operators offers the same phone plan for abroad. You just need to back every two months in France to re engage the phone plan.

To facilitate housing, wifi, and other daily operations we advise you to find a colocation with native students or to organise a colocation with other students from your school.

You also have the possibility to ask for a room on the campus but it won't be the same comfort scale.

Idea of price : between €800 - € 1000 / month (£700-900 / month)
 Housing: €400
Food: €300
Transportation: €100
Miscellaneous: €250

Make sure to check that your credit card is working same as under the french system. If isn't, make sure to understand the futur transactions.

The Brexit didn't change the working conditions for now. So, you could find a job student if you desire it.
