Languages
Language of instruction: French
Was learning French a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't.
How much did you improve your French?
My level before: At ease in most situations
My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang)
Language difficulties
Administrative / Institutional
Personal comments
My French was already pretty good before leaving, so I did not have many difficulties once I found myself there. Anyway, I would advise everyone to talk as much as posssible with the French people, in order to improve their language ability and not just stay around people who have the same mother tongue.

Academic
Course recommendations
I would recommend everyone to go and assist at some classes before actually choosing them. It is the only way to become aware of what is appropriate for you.

Interaction with international students
Interaction with local students
Personal comments
The local students are not really welcoming, so maybe more events for international students should be arranged. This way anyone could have the opportunity to make friends quickly.
