3.91 / 5 based on 108 reviews.
Description:
The University Paris X in its 35 years of existence has become one of France's very finest universities. Situated at only five minutes from the center of "la Défense", it is a multidisciplinary university. Nanterre proposes prestigious study courses in the fields of the humanities, the social sciences, law, economics, business administration, applied mathematics, and sport. Founded as an annex to the Sorbonne, Nanterre has, since the opening of the first building in October 1964, achieved a considerable place in the French and European universitary landscape. Nanterre is best-known for being the source of the 1968 movement, but has also made itself recognized in the scientific and literary domains.

Université Paris X - Nanterre review by María Elena
HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? I'd like to share an appartment with some other young people, just to have some freedom, being responsible to clean it, etc.
Personal comments:
The price was really good ( being in Paris ), but the room was not big at all, the residence was not clean; also because of some students, and there was too much noise in the night. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
STUDENT LIFE
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Activities: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Personal comments:
There're many activities organised in Paris, like "La fête de la musique": walking along Paris and listening all kind of music. Drinking wine in Champs du Mars, next to the Eiffel Tower, or on the top of Montmartre. I loved bouquinistes, and their books. Just walking along the city is marvellous. The atmosphere of this city is like a miracle. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
ACADEMIC
3.0 / 5
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
It was mainly a teacher talking and talking for hours, and this is tiring, so imagine for an international students; it's even more. I'd ask for more work at home, meaning to write some homework, to make some research, etc. More active.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
Just what I said as recommendations before. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

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:
It was great to practise my French again, because it's a language I love. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
EXPENSES
The accessibility of student needs
Main source of funding:
Family Other sources of funding:
An ERASMUS grant French Government gave us 36 euros per month Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options Personal spending habits:
I live with my family so that's why I spent more money in housing or food, but less in telephone, because it's much cheaper ( I had an offer to call to Spain ); there're many offers for students. I spent almost the same in travelling because I like to travel a lot, so here and there I spent a lot. And the nightlife is more expensive in Paris than in Madrid. Food, Nightlife, Overall, Housing: was more expensive than at home. Travel: was the same price as at home. Telephone: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
Yes, of course ;) I'd recommend people to make a list with all money you spend, just to control it a bit, or they could have some surprises at the end of the month. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
OVERALL
Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
I'd have liked to know some of these subjects I chose, because then my coordinator in Spain didn't let me to change them. In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
None. FINAL COMMENTS
Check all banks conditions before opening a bank account ( which is obligatory if u want to have many things there, because everything almost is through the bank ). This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
