Personal comments
The school also offers courses in English, if you don't speak the language at all. Still the courses in French are twice a week and after an intensive course before the school starts, you'll have learned a pretty good basis.

In the beginning it was quite hard to learn the language because the facilities that the university was giving were fully booked. Bit after bit, by attending the daily courses I could manage to improve my french skills.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: A room exchange
Why?
For me, it's important not only to live independant, but also with others. Living in a shared appartment has all I ask for. Anyhow, I would rather live in a new way if I'd go one more year to try something new!

The housing was completely satisfying. The metro station was just around a corner and it was a calm district to live at.
