3.62 / 5 based on 114 reviews.
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.

Was learning French a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't. How much did you improve your French?
My level before: At ease in most situations My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang) Personal comments:
Seeing things retrospectively, everything was great. Still, any beginning is difficult, especially when you are in a foreign country and you are faced with new, different behaviors. Thus, although my knowledge of French language was significant, the first days spent in Lille seemed everlasting. This tendency would become even more obvious when communicating with native speakers of French, so with people that couldn't possibly understand your uneasiness in expressing yourself in their language. But, as I was living on a campus, with students from all over Europe, the uneasiness had soon melted away; the desire to communicate and friendship tied us more closely than the language barrier could ever separate us. Consequently, I soon started to act naturally in any situation, to be myself, both in communicating with teachers and administrative staff, as well as with friends and other students.

My level before: Basic phrases My level after: At ease in most situations Personal comments:
My overall language and communication experience was pretty bad. I regret that I went abroad with 3 classmates instead of by myself, because then you tend to speak your home language all the time. There wasnt really social communication in the host language with the host students, it was very hard to get in contact with them: they didnt really want to slow down when they spoke too fast or explain something in another way. Overall: my writing has improved though, because you learn more vocabulary. But I still don't really speak the host language. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
