Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: With a family
Why? I had such a great time with my host family, that I've actually asked to stay with them for the second semester. They offer so much love and excitement. Plus, you're really forced to speak french all of the time and be apart of the culture.
Personal comments:
Staying with a host family has been a great experience and I would suggest anyone studying abroad to do the same. It's the best opportunity to get involved, learn about the culture, and improve speaking capabilities.

Yes, I wanted to improve my French
How much did you improve your French?

My level after: At ease in most situations
Personal comments:
Confidence plays a large part. You will only improve if you go out and make mistakes. They're more likely to make an effort with you if you are not shy in coming forward.

Were in a remote area which was in the suburbs called Villejean. It is not safe to travel back there late at night, let alone as a girl on her own. Therefore was somewhat restricted with nightlife. Food etc and the cost of living is generally cheaper in France
Food, Nightlife, Overall, Housing: was more expensive than at home.
Travel: was the same price as at home.
Telephone: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
