HOUSING
by gem21, University of Leicester, Leicester, United Kingdom
Language, Erasmus
Personal assessment
Type of housing: halls of residence
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Foreign students in Pau tend to be placed in the worst halls where cooking facilities are few and far between.
Personal comments:
The halls are really convenient for the uni and supermarket, but the facilities within the halls themselves are minimal. At £80 a month you can't expect much, but 2 cooking rings between 50 people can be extremely testing. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal social experience
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Activities: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment Nightlife, Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
Bd des pyrenees: a 'chic' place, and for poor students, :-) there's quarier libre, triangle. many clubs around the town center. Big fiesta from easter to august in "pays basques" and "landes" This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
If you are going to Pau, do not go with an organized group. They are over organized and much more expensive than doing it on your own.

Language difficulties
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: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.) My level after: At ease in most situations Personal comments:
As there were many Erasmus-students there were a lot of languages spoken, not only french. But after a time, I made some friends who were french and improved my french language skills well. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
EXPENSES

Language, Erasmus
The accessibility of student needs
Main source of funding:
Family Other sources of funding:
Personal savings An ERASMUS grant Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options Personal spending habits:
The accommodation is extremely cheap, about £75 a month, which is equal to a weeks rent in England! Phone is quite expensive over there but i recommend buying a french sim card rather than using an English one. Telephone: was more expensive than at home. Food, Overall: was the same price as at home. Travel, Nightlife, Housing: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
Buy a french sim card, with certain ones, such as Itineris (orange) you get a lot of free texts!) This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
Pau is a nice city, even though there are palm trees it still gets VERY cold. In my opinion:
I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
I would recommend Pau for the price, but if you are thinking about culture- go to Paris. FINAL COMMENTS
Take advantage of the mountains. Hiking in the summer, skiing is great in the winter. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
