HOUSING

Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Independent. I like to have my own house and be able to plan, work and do things as I please. I have lived with families before in foreign countries and it is brilliant to learn a language. However, I have reached a poitn where I would rather live by myself, or with people that are in the same situation as I am. When off course the appartment or house is large enough.
Personal comments:
The adviced on what was available and even offered some through their website I think. However I arrived earlier than the semester started and had the possibility to look around and find something that suited me. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Travel: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment Activities: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Nightlife: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
Minimal (club), Juan les Pins overal was a nice place to go out. Nice was not too close, but some clubs were pretty good! Going out was expensive though. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
Try to take the courses that interest you, not just the ones that seem easy. The professors are knowledgeable and have a lot to teach you.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
Get involved. The best way to meet local students and to fully integrate is to join an association or sports team. The academic life is quite easy, but if you have time, gather information about internships available through the school This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

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: At ease in most situations My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang) Personal comments:
I chose to go to France in the hopes of improving my level of French. When making friends with local French students it is very easy to not practice your friend do to the fact that most of the french students want to practice their english with you. You must force yourself into situations where there is no choice but to speak french. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

The accessibility of student needs
Main source of funding:
Personal savings Other sources of funding:
Government assistance Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options Personal spending habits:
Nightlife is extremely expensive on the Cote D'Azur so expect to spend at least 40-50 euro a week on socail activities. Housing was 250 euro a month. Traval was more expensive because I chose to travel around France and the rest of europe. This included paying hostels and buying a eurorail pass for $800. Food, Travel, Nightlife, Overall, Housing: was more expensive than at home. Telephone: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
You have a security deposit for the apartment. All the parties which you attend through school are quite expensive.About 20 euro a week minimum.School books are expensive. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
I would have applied for an internship for the summer months, after the semester was over. I wish I would have known about joining an association at school before coming. I also wish I would have known how expensive life on the Cote D'Azur was. In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
This university is great when it comes to qualitfied interesting professors. The teachers at CERAM come from very interesting backgrounds and have a lot to say. The curriculum isnt rigid and neither are the exams, but make sure to take classes that interest you, not only those that seem easy. FINAL COMMENTS
Try to arrive a few days early. Speak to someone who has gone before you, and try to get in contact with a french student at CERAM before arrival so that you can integrate as soon as you arrive. Be careful of your reputation, it is a small school. Concentrate on building life long frienships, don't focus on getting to know everybody. Nurture the friendships you make with local as well as other exchange students.They may last a life time. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
