Course included 30 hrs of French classes, which is nothing if you're starting from scratch. I picked up key phrases, but most (if not all) of my contact was with people who spoke English.

J´ai beaucoup aimer l´experience de vivre dans un pays différent, connaître une culture différente à la mienne et surtout des jeunes comme moi. En plus, Lille est géniale. Tout le monde dit qu´elle est salle ou industrielle mais en realité c´est une vraie ville d´étudiants!!!!

It was easy to cope. Almost all the students and teachers in EDHEC speak English, so if you had any problems, you could easily switch to Eng. In Nice, overall, most speak some English, it's after all a city that lives on tourism.
