If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Because the rooms at the campus are too little and not well equiped

Language difficulties
Social

I coped pretty well.
Sometimes it was difficult.
It was a constant struggle.
Educational
Administrative / Institutional
Overall
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: Basic phrases
My level after: At ease in most situations
Personal comments:
i believed i had a slight bit of competence in speaking french but when i got to Grenoble i found that that was not the case. But after 3 months i could have an interesting conversation with any french person. Its a shame i only had 3 months there cos i only started getting confidence ion speaking the language in the last month. I wonder how my french would be after 6 months.
