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: dormitory
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? that way you might have more contact to french people and not only to other erasmus students
Personal comments:
it was a little bit too expensive(which was not so bad as every student gets financial aid for living in france) and not very safe(burglars) nor clean (insects and mice), but all in all acceptable.
