HOUSING
by Thomas, University of Wales, Bangor, Bangor, United Kingdom
Language, Erasmus
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? You get to know lots of different people of diverse nationalities. Also, you have to deal with aspects that most students have never had to deal with before, such as paying all your own bills for electricity, water etc., which naturally makes you more aware and responsible.
Personal comments:
The university was helpful and friendly in finding me accommodation, however a few issues I had were that they did not give me a straight answer as to whether or not I would be sharing my room (indeed I did not find this out until I walked into my room for the first time); also there was no warning of the excessive €1200 deposit that had to be paid, and they would only accept cash for this deposit, which took about a week to obtain due to the ATMs not allowing you to withdraw that much per day. I had a very noisy neighbour, however this was obviously no fault of the university, and once I made a complaint, the issue was dealt with very well. The staff who deal with housing are all friendly and very well informed. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
STUDENT LIFE

Personal social experience
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Activities: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
Favorite night spot: Black & White. They ad a great mix of music from all over the world including the american pop. Events not to be missed: The festival of lights in Decmber. It is a beautiful celbration with such a rich history behind it. It is kind of like the "Ball drop in NYC" you must do it at least once. The street market in Vieux Lyon on Sunday mornings: The people and the fresh fruits and vegetables are amazing and cheap, plus it is great way to truely interact with the native Lyonaises.

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
French universities put a lot of emphasis on practical case studies which I find a good way to grasp concepts and put them into practise. I followed mostly marketing courses and they were all quite good. As far as languages were concerned, the compulsory French as a foreign language subject was excellent. We started from the basics and as the weeks went by we covered all the French grammar. The teacher was obviously very prepared and used to teach to foreign students. I cannot say the same for the languages standard taught to French pupils. I studied Spanish during the entire period and learnt very little.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
There should be more interaction with professors and more support. They did not pay much attention to foreign students. 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:
There is truly no better way of learning a language than in a country where the target language is the native language of the people. Even without spending a long time looking in dictionaries and vocab books, I was able to improve my knowledge of French considerably.

EXPENSES

The accessibility of student needs
Main source of funding:
Personal savings Other sources of funding:
Family Government assistance grants from my home university Work opportunities:
It was not legal for me to work Personal spending habits:
I spent more everywhere largely because the Euro was worth somewhere around 1.5 Canadian dollars. But I probably spent the same amount on food because I found inexpensive grocery stores and snacked a lot less than I snack in Canada. Also, in Canada there are plenty of places to eat early in the morning after a night of drinking, but not in France - nothing is open past 2am. So I wasn't even able to waste money on food at those hours. Mobile phone plans are expensive, unless you get a year's contract, but I couldn't since I was only on exchange for a semester. And obviously I spent more on travel because I'd never been to Europe before so I took advantage. But transportation is very reasonably priced in Europe. Travel, Nightlife, Overall, Telephone, Housing: was more expensive than at home. Food: was the same price as at home.
Personal comments:
Banks are confusing in France and policies vary from branch to branch when it comes to how they deal with exchange students. Never trust anything anyone says. Stay on top of your finances at all times. I thought I had set up an electricity account through the bank and it never happened. The electricity company cut my power after two months and it was annoying sorting things out. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
OVERALL

Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
Strathclyde University prepared students pretty well before going abroad, especially regarding the country of destination. I wish I had had more information on courses. At the end of the year everybody has to do a report on the city and university they go to in order to help subsequent students in settling in better. The report of the people that went to Lyon III the year before me was very useful and I hope that mine was very useful too to other students going the following year. In my opinion:
Most people loved it.
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
I would recommend this university as I would any other university. At the end of it, is what you make out of it that counts. I would say that there could be more friendly and approachable universities than this one. FINAL COMMENTS
When you go to France you must take out with you several documents as they will definetely come in useful, whether you have to open a bank account or apply for financial help towards your rent. You have to realise that you will come across some bureacracy that you are not used to in UK. Going to another country can be difficult for some people, especially if it is the first time you live abroad and the culture is quite different from yours. However, if you are patient and realise that it can take some time to adapt and you are aware that customs and lifestyles are different everywhere in the world, you will have an excellent time. One last piece of advice, which I think is the most important, do mix with local people or at least try to stay with other international students with whom you do not speak your native language. Everywhere I have been I have seen this happening: Italians mix with Italians, French mix with French and so on. I know it is easier to mix with people from the same culture and background as yours but it is a real shame to waste your year like this. You will regret it when it comes to speak that foreign language, or when you travel around the world and do not have a friend to go to. Just make the most of this experience. It has been the best in my entire life. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
