HOUSING    
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: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? I would choose an appartment closer to the old town. My appartment was located in one of the "HLM" buidlings, and it was really loud there.
Personal comments:
There was no housing offered by the university.

STUDENT LIFE    
Personal social experience
Activities
KEY:
Amazing! Hardly had time to study.
Plenty to do when I had the time.
So-so.
Did not get involved.
Nightlife
Travel
Overall
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment
Activities: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal comments:
There is some ships on the little river which have been transformed into bars. The bar "Schutzenberger" at the place Kleber is great because of its modern design, but the service is very bad. It has been like that three years ago when I lived in Strasbourg, and it has been the same when I returned for a quick visit in January 2004.

ACADEMIC    
My academic experiences
Quality of courses
KEY:
Fantastic.
Pretty good.
Could've been a bit better.
Disappointing.
Variety of courses
Availability/access to resources
Interaction with teachers
Interaction with other international students
Interaction with local students
Course recommendations:
The university system at French grandes écoles is very rigid. I'd say it's an interesting experience for a year, and you definitely get to learn a lot of facts. However, French students at this stage of their university studies are not encouraged to discuss issues and problems, but to learn a lot of facts by heart. Coming from an university system which is opposite, I had problems adapting first - even though I am half french!



My opinion of the university assessment
Exams at end of course
KEY:
Liked it.
It was alright.
A bit annoying.
Didn't like it.
Exams throughout the course
Essays and/or projects at the end of course.
Essays and/or projects throughout the course
Overall
Personal comments:
Encourage french students to study a year abroad, so that some of them become more open-minded and loose a bit of their elitist attitude at Sciences Po. But I have to say all of my French friends are very open-minded!

Language difficulties
Social
KEY:
No problems.
I coped pretty well.
Sometimes it was difficult.
It was a constant struggle.

Overall
Language of instruction: French
Was learning French a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't.
How much did you improve your French?
My level before: No problems in any areas (including slang)
My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang)
Personal comments:
Since I am half-french, learning the language wasn't my motivation to go to Strasbourg. I simply wanted to study in France, and I wanted to find out whether or not Sciences Po is really a challenging institution.

FINAL COMMENTS

Even though Sciences Po Strasbourg was a good experience, I would recommend studying at Sciences Po Paris, because I know that students there are more open-minded, and also much more involved with extra-curricular activities.
