Take extra money. My plane ticket was about $1250, Tution and Room about $1000, not bad! Expect to spend more than you think on food. Eat the crapes downtown, they were amazing! Read Review

HOUSING

Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: With a family
Why? During the summer time the majority of the students living in the dorms are foriegn. I was really looking forward to practicing my French, but no one on my floor was French, the majority were Chinese exchange students with little knowledge of the langague. Most of the people that were studying with Miami University spoke English a lot of the time which was frusterating as well since I wanted to improve my fluency in French.
Personal comments:
Housing is out of date compared to most American Universities. Simple facilities, rooms have a bed, desk, sink, and closet space. Co-ed bathrooms proved problematic at times (we had several "peeeper incedents" while I was there.

Personal comments:
the clubs in Dijon are dead on weekends because all of the French student leave for home. During the week especiallly on Thursdays there is a lot going on. It is not advisible to go to club before midnight! Atmosphère and Titti Twisters are ok but not spectacular.

Language difficulties
Social
KEY:
No problems.
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 was very shy in the beginning when I was expected to say something especially as far as social life is concerned. At college the teacher correct you constantly so you get dishearted a little. I figured out after a while that my French wasn't that bad and finally started to talk and thus improved my language skills a lot!

Enjoy the sports activities at they've got a lot to do and all for free (even paragliding!) Go to the CAF as early as possible. But the people at university are VERY helpful, it's very well organised.
