4.00 / 5 based on 210 reviews.
Description:
Vous entrez à Paris-Sorbonne (Paris IV) : c'est l'héritière de l'une des plus anciennes universités du monde, la prestigieuse Sorbonne qui date du Moyen Âge... Mais, vous y entrez pour le nouveau siècle, le vingt-et-unième. Vous allez y trouver à peu près toutes les disciplines du secteur lettres et sciences humaines (en tous cas, le plus vaste champ proposé à Paris) : depuis le grec ancien et l'égyptologie jusqu'à l'ingénierie linguistique, en passant par la philosophie, la sociologie, les études de la plupart des langues et civilisations étrangères, les lettres classiques et modernes, l'histoire.....

Personal comments:
The University Paris IV-Sorbonne doesn't help much with the accomodation but fortunately, I had help from the German Bureau for Academic Exchange DAAD who provided all necessary information.

Fantastic.
Pretty good.

Language difficulties
Social
KEY:

I coped pretty well.

It was a constant struggle.
Educational
Administrative / Institutional
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: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.)
My level after: At ease in most situations
Personal comments:
Even though French is not quite easy, m skills really improved during the year in Paris. In the courses you don't get to speak a lot, but because of the pressure of exams and the outstanding social life possibilities, you can rather easily advance.

EXPENSES    
The accessibility of student needs
Second-hand text books
KEY:
Very easy.
Minimal effort.
Accessible but required effort.
Almost impossible.
Second-hand household items
Computers / Internet
Administrative
Money from home
Main source of funding:
Family
Other sources of funding:
Government assistance
Work opportunities:
I worked during my study abroad experience
Personal spending habits:
Accomodation in Paris is just expensive but to have this apartment in the centre paid off. Of course, Paris heavily depends on Tourism and is one of the most visited places on earth. Therefore, nightlife and generally going out is expensive. Travelling in France is somewhat cheaper, the railway is not as privatized as in Germany and the public transport system in Paris costs the same as in Hamburg for students but is far better!
Nightlife, Overall, Housing: was more expensive than at home.
Food, Telephone: was the same price as at home.
Travel: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
none
