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: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? All exchange students living in the same "dorm" which was very good in building strong relationships.
Personal comments:
Relationships with the campus management were difficult; loads of bureaucracy etc. Tiny rooms with relatively expensive prices but the ambience with other people living there was good.

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:
Some courses were made for specially exchange students but their quality was rather low. Instead a two and half month course called "Graduate certificate of European Business Studies" was very good.

Language difficulties
Social
KEY:

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: At ease in most situations
Personal comments:
Courses both in French and English. Those courses were difficult concerning the language that were in French - those courses were meant mainly for the local students. My French language did not improve so much as I had hoped due to the fact that I spent my time mainly with other exchange students amongst which there were always those who wanted to speak in English. This resulted in that the exchange students language was English and not French.
