“Watch your belongings on the metro/RER lines; I watched mine and my wallet was stolen. Luckily my passport was in a separate location. Do not keep your passport in your wallet. Also, try not to speak English on public transportation, for it sometimes draws unwanted attention to yourself.” Read Review

HOUSING    
by Isabel, ESADE Business School, Barcelona, Spain
Marketing and Sales Management, 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: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? Because of two reasons. Firstly, If you're in the city (Paris), you're very far from the university. Secondly, because on the campus you can meet all the other students and live a real student life.
Personal comments:
i believe that the accommodation is ok, although it could be a little bit cleaner.

Personal comments:
I loved the Frog and Princess café in Saint Germain des Pres as well as the cafés in St. Michel. I enjoyed going to Bastille at night because there was always a lot of people with whom I could mingle and mix and the restaurants and bars were fun, affordable and exciting!

Could've been a bit better.
Disappointing.

Interaction with other international students
Interaction with local students
Course recommendations:
If you are going to make the best of it, speak the language (French) in AND out of the classroom. I spoke French at all times and I am virtually fluent now. It feels wonderful to immerse yourself!

Personal comments:
No! Everyone decides for themselves how much they want to get out of an academic program abroad, so it depends on the person!

Personal comments:
Don't live on your own!!! If you intend to go out with friends, meet up at someone's place for a "warm up" since going out (esp. drinking!) is quite expensive!!! Don't take the best of the best unless you can affort it. Rather go for local brands or supermarkets own. The usual really.

FINAL COMMENTS

Try & make contacts with others who have been there or are still there!!! Ask your your course organiser or anyone if he/she has any contacts you could approach! Find other students!!!
