Overall
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Activities, Nightlife, Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal comments:
Night parties were mostly in the "Cite Université" or in private houses. Best cafe "Le Duc" et "Cafe Oz" Not to be missed le "Musee d'Orsay et Musee Rodain". If you have the opportunity and a car "Paris la nuit" is beautiful.Highly recommended is to go to the "Opera Garnier" and see a Ballet.

Overall
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:
For me was pretty easy because I had spend one year as Erasmus in an other University in Paris. I do not think if will be possible to undertake a Master degree in France without a good level of French.
