Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Toulouse review by Hugott

Review by Hugott, Ludwig Maximilians Universität München, Munich, Germany
Political Science, Erasmus
HOUSING    
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: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: community
Why? I don´t know if I got this question right! When you asked me where I´m going to live, when I get back home, then my aswer is community, because I like to live with people!
Personal comments:
We didn´t have to care about a search, when we communicated early with the office at the host university. The prices here in Toulouse are high for an appartement, but every student gets financial help from the state! Then it´s OK!

Overall
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Activities: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment
Nightlife, Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal comments:
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!)

ACADEMIC       2.5 / 5
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!

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: Did not speak it
My level after: At ease in most situations
Personal comments:
Because I couldn´t speak frensh, the other foreign students and the frensh-course of the university were essential, because for learning a language I need training in using it! This is only possible with the other foreign people, when you don´t speak the language at all! The native speakers get annoyed!

Happened a bit.
Didn't happen.
Traveled
Improved language skills
Met people from other countries
Became more independent

Personal recommendation:
Stop this elite-feeling for politics-students at this IEP´s! That is the reason why so many no-life-people (frensh) are there! Especially the political sciences need people who know what it´s worth living for!!!! Most of the students think, they are already ministers and forget to develop their character!
