HOUSING

Business Studies, Erasmus
Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? It would give more opportunity to meet students from the host university.
Personal comments:
Although the room and facilities were sufficient, there was lack of an area within the building to meet one and other. The location was great thought, only 10 min from the center by foot!

Quality of courses
KEY:
Fantastic.
Pretty good.
Could've been a bit better.
Disappointing.
Variety of courses
Availability/access to resources

Althought I felt the level was lower than at my homeuniversity, theory was more demanding.



My opinion of the university assessment
Exams at end of course

Liked it.
It was alright.
A bit annoying.

Overall
Personal comments:
The set up for interaction between french and international students should be better organised. Being a freemover it would have been easier to have somebody by your side that knows the system of the school.

Language difficulties
Social
KEY:
No problems.
I coped pretty well.
Sometimes it was difficult.
It was a constant struggle.
Educational
Administrative / Institutional
Overall
Language of instruction: French
Was learning French a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my French
How much did you improve your French?
My level before: At ease in most situations
My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang)
Personal comments:
At the beginning it was difficult to understand the slang of all the local students so I asked when I did not get the meaning of words or special sentences. It was helpful that ESC La Rochelle offered all the foreign students a language course during the first two weeks.

You can demand the CAF, which is normally granted for all students. For travelling with the train, I propose to buy the Carte 12-25, with this Carte you can economise alot of money.
