Ecole Commerciale de la Chambre de Commerce et d'Industrie de Paris review by Lindsey

HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Foyer
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: a foyer
Why? If at all possible, it is extremely beneficial to live in a foyer with other students or young workers within a similar age group because it is afforable, and provides an opportunity to get to know natives and other Europeans.
Personal comments:
I was very pleased with the housing option, the foyer, because it had all of the services I could need at a very affordable price. I had my own room, with a refridgerator, and shared a kitchen on my floor. Aside from that, there was a larger kitchen in the common area of the building as well as an internet/computer lab. It was very safe and there was always someone on duty to serve as the security and help for the building. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
STUDENT LIFE
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students interact with the local community without much university involvement
Activities, Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment 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!

ACADEMIC
3.5 / 5
My academic experiences
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!
My opinion of the university assessment
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! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
Language difficulties
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:
This program provided me with the best experience of my life; getting to speak French with the natives and getting to make French friends. It's an irreplaceable experience. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

It was not legal for me to work Personal spending habits:
Because you tend to spend more when you're in a new place and are drawn to the shops, cafés and activities that may cost money to participate. Food, Travel, Overall: was more expensive than at home. Nightlife, Telephone: was the same price as at home. Housing: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
Do not use traveller's checks, they are useless. Use a debit card or credit card for purchases and use the ATM machines that are plentiful. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal recommendation:
Use all the resources that are offered to you, and take the time to converse with the professors and the other students to really immerse yourself. FINAL COMMENTS
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. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
