HOUSING

Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? The Halls of Residence, although outrageoously cheap, were a terrible place to live with few amenities and little feeling of community.
Personal comments:
The Halls are cheap, but not cheerful. I saved a lot of money living there and it is worth it if you have to budget but living in the centre of Toulouse is far more appealing... This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
According the ECTS-contract we had to follow some courses we've had seen more detailed in Belgium and where we didn't saw something new. There were other very interesting course given on the university but they were not in our schedule.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
the choice of courses more in concert with the students, its time spilling work when you have to follow the same courses twice a year instead of taking advantage of following courses dealing the speciallity of the host university. (in my case more about composites!) This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Language difficulties
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: At ease in most situations My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang) Personal comments:
Learning to perfect French in Toulouse is a wonderful experience. The local Toulousain accent is the most distinctive in France and the way they pronouce the language is enchanting. I recommend Toulouse as a place to study and live unreservedly. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

The accessibility of student needs
Main source of funding:
Family Other sources of funding:
Personal savings An ERASMUS grant Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options Personal spending habits:
Socialising in France is prohibitively expensive. Buy alcohol at supermarkets and drink at home before hitting the town! Other expenditure is generally slightly cheaper in Toulouse compared to the UK Nightlife, Telephone: was more expensive than at home. Overall: was the same price as at home. Food, Travel, Housing: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
Just approach French bureaucracy with caution! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
