HOUSING
by John, University of Notre Dame, South Bend, United States
Language, University Agreement
Personal assessment
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: With a family
Why? Because it is the best way to learn the language.
Personal comments:
With a family is good if they are nice, a bad family, though, could ruin the experience, in which case one should get an appartment. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
STUDENT LIFE
by Leyre, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, United Kingdom
Translation/ Interpretation, Erasmus
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Activities, Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Personal comments:
The Mardi Cafes!!!! a MUST! You will be told all about these soiree when you arrive. A great way of meeting French students! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
If you are thinking about taking interpreting courses, do not hesitate! Classes are very small (4 to 7 students this year!) and you work and get personal feedback every day! Disadvantage: timetable changes from week to week and can be quite confusing, lectures are cancelled and rescheduled all of the time, there are clashes... Good on the whole though!

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: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.) My level after: At ease in most situations Personal comments:
I didn't really get to practice the language outside of the classrooms which was disappointing. I spoke most of the time with my host family and that helped me a lot. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
Nothing in particular... In my opinion:
Most people loved it.
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
If you come "ŕ la Catho" you will be able to attend lectures given by some excellent teachers and you can definitely learn a lot from them. Have fun but remember you have lectures starting as early as 8am the next morning!! FINAL COMMENTS
One thing I have to say is that internet access is REAAAAAALLY bad. Internet cafes are mad expensive. Just make sure when you arrive that you either find a computer room that is usually open and free! or that you get an authorisation if you are an IPLV student (Institut de Langues Vivantes) to have the keys of a computer room. If you plan to travel around buy the 12-25 train card to get between 25 and 50 percent off train tickets. Ah! I forgot to mention: if the place where you are staying does not have a washing machine/dryer be ready to pay around 6€ in the "laverie"! That is all I can think of...
