Personal comments
It was an independent apartament, because in Paris is very dificult to find a house. In fact i search for 3 Weeks for a house, becaude my University didn´t arrange nothing for me. Normaly in the newspapers you see people searching for a house, instead of people ofering places to rent. It´s diferent!

Final comments
In my opinion every students should have an internancional experience, because you can learn a lot with diferent cultures, you can learn onether language and mainly you grow up has a person. In fact you only can count with you, because your family and friends are at home and they can´t help you. Now i think i am more dynamic and proactive because of this internacional experience. This help you to your future job.
