Disappointing.

Interaction with local students
Course recommendations:
Try not to chose any subjet related to Local Law, because they are really hard. If you are Erasmus student your oportunities to chose are almost infinites. If you are looking for International and Communitarian Law, this is your place, but be careful, because courses are hard. In Politicsl, there are some very interesting subjetcs, specilly for Central and Eastern European Union. But be prepared to be treated for most of teachers as a usual student. Organisation is quite caotic, so try with all your forces to bring your califications with you to your country back.

Don't expect to meet a lot of local students on class. The best place are parties, and, nevertheless, the most amount of people will be foreigner.

Personal comments:
There is such a difference between the classes and professors. Some classes are easy, some really hard. The exams are really tough. There's a huge percentage of drop-outs (50% in year 1!!) and I understand why... The first series of exams are almost too easy, which leaves you with the wrong impression... The second series of exams are so hard - - you better have everything covered for them or you'll fail! You have to be really motivated to get through it all with a high mark... The French education system is very different to the Anglo-saxon one so it's not necessarily easy to adapt. It's definitely a challenge.
