HOUSING

Law, Erasmus
Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: plusieurs: foyer, famille, et appart
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? parce que c'est le meiulleur choix et le plus independant
Personal comments:
C'est très difficile (et plutôt cher)trouver un logement à Paris, presque dramatique parfois, neanmoins ça aprends à se battre contre tout (locateurs qui demandent de cautions et garanties, centains de foyers complets...). Une fois on arrive à trouver le logement on est soulagés.

Faire attention aux profs, la majorité sont bons et assez sympas, mais on peut toujours trouver d'autres pas très considerés vers les difficultés d'être étudiant étranger.

Mon conseil c'est essayer de faire les examens à l'oral, au moins dans ma formation je pense que c'est mieux pour les Erasmus.

Was learning French a key decision factor?
