HOUSING
by Donald, University of Leicester, Leicester, United Kingdom
Translation/ Interpretation, Erasmus
Personal assessment
Type of housing: private residence
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Parce que c'est plus facile si on se trouve dans le centre ville au lieu d'une résidence dans la banlieue
Personal comments:
En fait, il n'y avait aucune résidence universitaire officielle de Paris III. Certes, on est à Paris et il n'y a pas énormément d'espace pour les résidences. Mais, il faut qu'ils essaient d'aider aux étudiants Erasmus avec le logement parce qu'il n'existe aucun aide. Si vous avez la chance, vous aurez un appartement à la cité universitaire, qui est vachement bien, mais sinon, il va falloir que vous fassiez beaucoup de la recherche pour trouver un bon appart qui ne coute pas trop cher.

STUDENT LIFE
by Donald, University of Leicester, Leicester, United Kingdom
Translation/ Interpretation, Erasmus
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students interact with the local community without much university involvement
Activities, Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Personal comments:
Paris est Paris, la ville qui ne se couche jamais. J'y passé trop de grandes soirées, surtout dans les boites connues comme au Mix, qui a une soirée Erasmus tous les jeudis avec l'entrée offerte aux étudiants Erasmus avant 00h00. En dépit des grandes soirées, il faut faire attention. Premièrement le prix des consommations est vachement cher, 8 euros pour une vodka coca est le moins cher au Mix. Deuxièmement, il y existe autant de soirées gays parce que Paris est très connu pour sa population homosexuelle, qui est magnifique pour la diversité en ville, mais généralement pour l'étudiant en soirée gay, il n'y a pas beaucoup d'avantages. En tous cas, il faut sortir au moins 2 fois à la semaine pour avoir l'expérience de « Paris by night ». This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
registration is a nightmare! go up to someone and demand that they help you otherwise you end up subscribed to nothing and nobody will really care. stand up for your self and you will get there! the film courses are good here and the erasmus courses provided by the uni are fun but apart from the grammar courses are hard to pass! also you are required to get a sheet signed by every teacher that you had during the year, but they dont tell you until the end of the year so my advice is to go ti the erasmus coordinator (third floor at censier building) at the end of the first semesterto ask for the sheet and get all signatures in class because you wont find your teachers outside the classroom.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
resourses the uni library is crap and if you do film courses you have to pay to c some films(usually weekly). plus the uni is scattered on different sites in the fifth arrondissement 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: No problems in any areas (including slang) My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang) Personal comments:
Le seul problème que j'avais avant d'étudier en France était mes compétences d'écriture en français, mais à la rentrée en Angleterre c'est mieux qu'à l'orale, donc maintenant il faut faire un effort pour que ca soit mieux… Enfin, à Paris on a l'occasion de parler avec les citoyens dans le bar et dans les boites et chaque fois qu'ils entendent que vous êtes étrangers et que vous parlez français, ils sont énormément contents, donc il faut sortir et parler, comme ca vous auriez l'occasion de s'améliorer.

The accessibility of student needs
Main source of funding:
An ERASMUS grant Other sources of funding:
Family Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options Personal spending habits:
its a capital city so i was expecting to pay more, however if you compare it to london its much cheaper. Food, Nightlife, Overall, Housing: was more expensive than at home. Telephone: was the same price as at home. Travel: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
apply for caf, you do it on line at www.caf.fr. it is a reduction for student on rent. youy must have your carte de sejour and a contract with your name on to do it but its definately worth the hassle. tribal cafe does free food 4 nights a week moules frites on weds and thurs, cous cous and chicken on fri and sat. you have to buy a drink but prices (for paris) are v reasonable, 5 euros for a very strong spirit and mixer and 3 euros for a pint. its at metro chateau d'eau in passage d'ecureuil (or something like that just keep taking a right turns until you get to the road which has the mini arc de triomphe and its a little passage to the right off there. get there by eight to get a seat though with free food around it gets rammed.

Personal recommendation:
The literature department has very serious professors who treat their subjects in-depth and with deep insight - usually interesting. FINAL COMMENTS
