Course recommendations
- chose french classes => a lot of international students only spoke English and didn't improve their French at all. I didn't care too much about the subject but more about the language

As suggested in the field for classes - I mainly spoke French in class and while participating in sport activities. With most of my friends (since they where exchange students as well) I spoke English. But involvment in clubs, sports and parties helps to get to know french people as well.

some of the buildings are pretty old and not in good shape; the rooms have enough space but the light is not too good; there is no cooking facility available; shower is shared with a co-douche (the person in the room next door) and WC is on the corridor.
