“BTW - the comments from a while ago mention the "batiment A", which was where Erasmus students used to be placed. It's worth noting that this was demolished a few years ago and "batiment C" is where we tend to get put now (it's not too bad, but sometimes a bit noisy). Also the transport has improved due to a new-ish tram system being installed that links the campus with the city centre in 10 minutes. In general it's pretty good nowadays... and don't forget to try the tarte flambée!” Read Review

I wish I'd known how bad the halls were, I wouldn't have stayed there if I'd known.
In my opinion:
I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.

Personal recommendation:
Come here and use it's location to travel. The town centre is nice but there's not that much to do beyond that. Go to Colmar, Strasbourg, Freiburg, Basel etc for day trips to brighten up your stay.



FINAL COMMENTS

Mulhouse is 15km from Germany and 30km from Switzerland so use the location to our advantage and travel. Get yourself a 'Carte 12-25' to save cash with SNCF.

I wish I had known...
I wish I had known what the place was like because I would not have gone if I had known. Mulhouse is not a suitable university for foreign students. It provides none of the necessary environments for meeting and mixing and I really considered a dangerous hostile surrounding (and thats my opinion having come from one year living and working in Chile, South America!)
In my opinion:
Stay home.

There should be alot more effort made in the areas of security, facilities and social activities to help local and foreign students mix.



FINAL COMMENTS

On my first night there I was sprayed with MACE, I was flashed by perverts too many times to count and on a regular basis I had strange guys knocking on my bedroom door during the night so me and the other Erasmus girls had to keep our mobile phones on all the time just to feel safe. 3 girls left during the year as a result of this unsafe environment.
