Personal comments
Too small, but VERY cheap (85 euros/month with help from govt). 2 min walk from classes (VGood!). Everything you need in the residence bldg. HOWEVER, no cooking facilities (really disappointing!!). Great people to meet!

The courses were in French, I am French and speak it (mother tongue), therefore, no problems at all. My exchange was not to better my French.

Academic
Course recommendations
Remember to choose ALL your courses BEFORE you leave your home uni. Also, be ABSOLUTELY SURE you have approval for all your courses, especially, the credits that are going to be granted to you (especially if it's your last semester, like me). Try not to get any surprizes once you arrive. Sort the most BEFORE leaving.

Personal comments
Be sure your profs know who you are and know your status. Some profs are real a$$holes and don't care if you've had your previous education in another language. Some profs are really not understanding and don't do any effort to support you. That's really annoying.
