“Sleep well on the way there if you're coming from far away as it's a bit of a trip via tram to get from the bus/train depot to the university housing.” Read Review

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: Basic phrases
My level after: At ease in most situations
Personal comments:
At first it was shocking to see how few people really spoke english, all the communication was in french. Although, my choice for France, was partly to learn french, it seemed quite difficult in the beginning, especially in the lectures and administrative situations. However, when you're surrounded by only french speaking people, it is only naturally to pick up the language after a while. The effort didn't seem that great at the end, compared to the great amount one can learn in a short period.
