Description:
L'université naît au XIIIe siècle, de l'organisation en corporation des maîtres et écoliers de Paris. Primitivement installés dans l'Ile de la Cité, ils sont venus, dès le XIIe siècle, dans le futur "quartier latin" où la théologie, le droit, la médecine et les arts sont enseignés, en plein air, à des jeunes gens venant des 4 Nations (Française, Picarde, Normande et Anglaise) lui conférant, dès l'origine, un prestige international...

HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: CROUS which is charged of by the French government
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? Living around the university is convenient and safe
Personal comments:
The accommodation in Paris was satisfictory because it's Paris. I paid no more than 300 Euros for a studio, where I have the private space. The quiet and clean enviroment is pretty nice for studing and sleeping. Even thought the reception do not speak English, I am pleased to live in CROUS.

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
The courses what we chose are so limited. For example, I have studied mathematics and statistics in China and I got excellent grades on them but I have to choose some maths courses. And we only can choose 2 economics courses among 3 of the economics course. What I mean is we should be allowed to choose 3 economics courses plus 1 maths in stead of obliged to choose 2 economics plus 2 maths. In addition, the professors speak English with strong French accent.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
Our international students are seperated from the native students in a small building, which has many inconvenient and disadvantage. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal recommendation:
There is no a campus so I didn't know well about the university. But from the Professors who gave us lectures, I can say the Paris 1 has a high level academic background. FINAL COMMENTS
You can buy 10 tickets with 10.9 Euros including the metro and bus. Take the metro map any time in Paris because the complicated traffic systerm. Do not go shopping in the Galeries Lafayette where is so expensive :) This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
