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:
Get information before you get there so you know what they offer and what you want to take. Familiarize yourself with the French system! Be persistant in getting information once you get there and don't let yourself be discouraged by the reserved manner of people you might face. They have a lot do to at the university and tend to be a little bit unpatient. ( Madame Piroel of the English department is an angel and will do everything to help you!)

It's a little confusing to find out where the board is that has all the information one needs. They seem to be scattered all over the place.

The professors I spent most of my time with were highly qualified and very creative in their approach. Of course, it's best to keep the groups as small as possible and the keep the groups as internationally mixed as possible.
