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.....

KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.

Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: Room for au-pair work
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: part-time au-pair
Why? It is the cheapest solution and quite often the room is in the city centre.
Personal comments:
I went to Paris in independently and so was looking for accomodation on my own as well. For post-graduate students the "Cité International" might be interesting.

Bars in the Bastille, good for English students. Good cafes on boulevard du Montparnasse and in St Michel. Buy a good Paris guide so as not to miss the not so well known sights.

Was learning French a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my French
How much did you improve your French?

My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang)
Personal comments:
I studied foreign manguages so that was the main interest of my time in Paris. Arriving in France without appropriate knowledge of French ist pretty difficult as French people are not at ease speaking English.
