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.

ACADEMIC
3.5 / 5
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
it's really dificult to chose the courses, because it takes a lang time before you get al the information, so the lessons are already started which makes it really hard
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
typical for france everything takes a lot of time, i had to waith more then a mont to get my points and als the information regarding the courses is hard to get...so maybe the home university should push some more to get the papers in time ..

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:
for me the language was the main reason to go to France.. my French was pretty mediocre before I went on Erasmus and it's especially good for your vocabulary This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

I wish I had known...
the academic aspect in Lille is much more difficult then you realise at first site.. for exemple : most of the time the exam is only one question and you have to write 6 pages about that subject in a clear text with an introduction and a conclusion... and the teachers don't pay attention at the fact is you're an erasmus our a normal student,... wich is good but it makes it quite difficult In my opinion:
Most people loved it.
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
make sure you're administration works a lot better ... but i think that's just the french way of living FINAL COMMENTS
