IFI Rouen

Try to get a place in Rouen rather than Mnt-St-Aignon.Even though that is where the uni is, most of the nightlife is in Rouen and the last bus back to MSA is at 11.30. Make sure you get a cogito (student) bus pass as soon as you get there, as this makes bus travel a lot cheaper. You will constantly be travelling between Rouen and Mnt-St-Aignon.

One of the best times in my life. I don't think those 4-months could have gone any better!

Rouen was a cool city to visit and live in for a while. I really learned a lot about Normandy; it's history and culture. Rouen was nice at first, because it was urban, yet had a keen sense of history and quaintness. Paris would have been too much to handle at first. However, I am more urbanely focused, and quickly mastered and tired of Rouen. If you are afraid of a huge city, Rouen is very comfortable and safe, but if you are from New York or a comparable large city, you'll probably be wishing you had chosen Paris.

There is tons that I can tell. Please email me at amitgilani@hotmail.com for further info. I will be glad to help you out

I am thoroughly glad that I chose this program. The university itself is very focused on promoting student life and I met a wide variety of interesting and fun people. I would suggest saving money for week long vacations, as opposed to traveling to different places every weekend. It's important to really spend time in your host city.

Travel, take advantage of what you have when you have it. Enjoy yourself, but do not let the rain bring you down.
