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.

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.

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.

Housing
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.

Personal social experience
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.
