Political Science, 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? The location is great, the rent is cheap and it's the best way to get to know people!
Personal comments:
Even though the residences aren't the cleanest or most comfortable places on earth, they're a good option for the erasmus.

there is no Dico-dulture here in Toulouse like in Germany! Most is in bars and some nightclubs. Best places: cafe populaire, l´ambassade, la maison, la soule (pour la champions league!)

My academic experiences
Quality of courses
KEY:
Fantastic.
Pretty good.
Could've been a bit better.
Disappointing.
Variety of courses
Availability/access to resources
Interaction with teachers
Interaction with other international students
Interaction with local students
Course recommendations:
the system here is for me strange because there are hardly courses of discussions! And the habbite is to beleave the prof and not confirm things with original texts. Very school-like!

Didn't like it.
Exams throughout the course

Language difficulties
Social

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:
You can only learn french by being in France! To be able to follow the courses you'll have to have pretty good skills from the beginning, but your skills will develop outside the school as well. Speak french also with the other erasmus!!

FINAL COMMENTS

I can't think of a better place to spend your erasmus. To make things even greater, try to find french student who have done their erasmus in your home country. They'll be glad to help you and you'll make great new freinds!
