Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
The main disadvantages of the campus life was high costs and no kitchens, so i could not cook although i really like to. But still, i would close my eyes on it in case of a return because renting an apartment in Paris could be even more expensive, the way from Paris to the school would get 40-60 mins without a car. And living in campus gives you lots of opportunities: quick integration and adaptation, lots of new friends, support, doing sport etc.

Well, the housing was really clean, and light, a bit small either. But i like how the space was organized: long desk for studying, wardrobes, some shelves from Ikea, a draw under the bed, a common door for the room and a bathroom. Yeah, by the way, i was luck cause i had private bath room and toilet, as most of the students had to share there bath between 2 people, and had common toilet - 1 in each floor. As i told, i did not like there were no kitchens, and the food in the canteen was not the best, actually =)) We had to eat something typical for French - like "bloody beefs" etc )) haha. And there were many opportunities for doing sport: volleyball, tennis, jogging etc. What is very important for me either. I think it is good the campus is located out of the city, as the weather is much warmer than in St.Petersburg, and living in the city would be too stuffy.

Why?
Because the school is totally outside of Paris, next to a really small village, so there isn't another choice if you don't want to drive 1 hour to the school each morning.

- As the accomodition was on the campus, it never took me more than 5 minutes to arrive to the class. - I really missed a common area to meet other students, to watch television, etc... and also a kitchen! Or at least a fridge. - And I also missed a shop for foods or drinks on the campus - But a good thing: there was a cleaning lady to clean regularly every room! - The room was quite expensive for me (2250 FF/month), being a Hungarian, so as a result of long discussions with the residence and the financial service, I managed to share a room with an other friend. So it's possible, but be tough! In France, nothing is simple...

Because in my home university I have never lived on campus and is an excellent experience as you are allways in touch with the rest of students and you can learn a lot from them and aldo from yourself

The room space was pretty good but it lacked a common space in the building to share with others.

The campus is far from Paris downtown (25km). It's easier to live in the campus. There are pretty good sport facilities and you can met with other french or exchange students there.
