Personal comments:
I had a wonderful time with my roommate who is French. Because of him, I had opportunity to find out the French culture more deeply than other exchange students. It was definitely a great experience in my life.

Nightlife
Travel
Overall
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Nightlife: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment
Activities, Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal comments:
If you like dance, you can't miss Latino Cafe. It's a great disco with Spanish music and atmosphere. During Christmas period, there will be a ferris wheel in the center of Lille. It's a symbolic icon of this wonderful city. Don't miss the Citadel Park if you love beautiful scenery. When it comes to the end of autumn, it's beautiful like a poem.

Personal comments:
Some teachers literally read all the time. They should at least give us some time to absorb the knowledge. By the way, I think I should spend more time on extend study for learning those subjects I haven't learnt in class.

All of the courses which I took in this University were in English, it was not a problem for me. However, it was not the case when I was out of the campus. Luckily most of the people there I met were friendly, they tried to understand what I said and then responded to my question.
