Personal recommendation:
The English and French University Systems differ greatly, this institution has room for improvement but by French standards is good. Having said that outside of the university I wouldn't change anything else about Aix or the region for the world, its a fantastic place.



FINAL COMMENTS

Make the most of the region, there is so much to do you will never fit it all in so don't waste time before exploring it. Give Marseille a chance it doesn't deserve the reputation it has, go to Notre Dame De La Garde and you'll see what I mean... spectacular!! Make an effort to mix with the local students and not just the other international ones, it will pay off in the end.
