It was great, the only way to speak french is to get to France! You also have the opportunity to learn other languages because of all the international students

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
The fares are hight for private appartements but the french governement pays a part of it (see www.caf.fr) , so it's abordable and it can be even better if you share it with other students!

Personal comments
If you are studying Industrial Engineering at INPG (which is at the center of the city) and not afford to pay an appartement, you should choose to stay at Rabot Campus, it's near the city , it's clean and has a great ambience and a great view.The only inconvenient is that you have to clinb a little bit to the mountain to reach it but buses are going often too. All others schools of INPG are a little bit far from the center, about 20 minutes with the tram and you should choose to stay at the main campus, but not all the dormitories of the campus are renovated and clean...but it remains a cheap solution.
