Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble review by Bojana
Review by Bojana, Technische Universiteit Eindhoven, Eindhoven, Netherlands
Engineering, Technology, Erasmus 
HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? My school was the only one not located on the university campus, but in the centre of Grenoble. Furthermore, the house facilities and security were poor.
Personal comments:
There were no clear descriptions in advance of the housing conditions. This made it rather difficult to choose which luxury category would be sufficient or not. Therefore, a lot of foreign students were the first month occupied with searching for other housing. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
STUDENT LIFE
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Activities, Nightlife: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
Keep up with the student parties organized by the different schools in the clubs of Grenoble. There is always some party to go to. Also, the nightlife of Grenoble is really lady-friendly, offering from wednesday till sunday free entrances and drinks (all night long) to the ladies. For example in L'orus and K'Doc. Across L'orus, hidden above the cinema, there is also a nice restaurant/lounge bar to begin the evening calmly. In the streets leading from Place Notre Dame, there are also nice cocktail and lounge bars. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
ACADEMIC
3.5 / 5

Use your social contacts to get to the learning materials and old exams, since this is not structurally provided in class.

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: 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. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
EXPENSES
The accessibility of student needs
Main source of funding:
Family Other sources of funding:
An ERASMUS grant Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options Personal spending habits:
The cost of daily life is similar to that of my hometown. However, the very poor housing I had, was also very cheap. Even more, since all students in France get subsidiaries for their housing. On the other hand, being an Erasmus, exploring and travelling becomes a part of your life, and these costs come extra. Travel, Overall: was more expensive than at home. Food, Nightlife, Telephone: was the same price as at home. Housing: was less expensive than at home.
