Description:
The University of Lille was founded in 1562 by the Spanish and became French in 1667. Louis PASTEUR became the Science Faculty's first Dean in 1854, which was to become the "USTL" in 1971, located in the campus in Villeneuve d'Ascq.
The USTL is a public university directed by a President, elected for five years by different university Management Committees. He is advised by a 20 member management team who are responsible for the USTL's activities. The final decisions are made by three committees: the Administration Committee, the Scientific Committee and the Committee of Studies and University life.

Work opportunities:
It was not legal for me to work
Personal spending habits:
The amounts I spent while living in Lille were overall higher than my normal spedings at home. The causes for such a difference in the expenditure level were either the difference between the standards of living (for accommodation, the rent being more expensive than in Romania) or the fact that I've travelled more than I usually do in my own country. During my staying in France, I had a great chance to visit new places, both in France and the neighboring countries.
Travel, Overall, Telephone, Housing: was more expensive than at home.
Food, Nightlife: was the same price as at home.
Personal comments:
Fortunately, no negative surprises. And, due to the small amount granted under the Tempus scholarship, no pleasant surprises either; still, the food is very cheap, the libraries are full of good books and you can have fun even by not spending too much.

Personal comments:
in my school you really don't need text books. you have to make your own notes. if you want to apply for a telephone, be carefull because they will try to take a lot of money from you. and be on time to close your phone before you leave to go back home.

Save some money before you go abroad, because you spend more money than you think and the Erasmus grant isnt very much.
