AcademicCourse recommendations
UPEM courses are easy, as most of them require only a written report and a group presentation for assessment. Even those with exams are painfully simple. To really improve your language, recommend following the ESC courses with the french students, and there is a wide selection of interesting courses. However, most of these are assessed 100% by exam, so you may fins yourself with loads of exams to take at the end of the term while the exchange students party.

Personal comments
If your university accredits them, then take the UPEM courses, as they are the easiest way to get high marks and therefore credits. However, to really improve your French, take the ESC courses.

I lived in Ango and that's where all of the other exchange students lived. Party news travels thorugh the halls and everyone gets along. You'll never be lonely and you'll always know what's going on (in regards to student social life). It's small and cramped but I traveled and partied so much that I barely even noticed. Off campus appartments set up by ESC are more expensive and far. If you're only staying for a semester you might as well stay in Ango. It also doesn't hurt that the residence is just a 6 minute walk away from the shcool.

Food and drink, when bought from a supermarket are fairly cheap in France, thus bringing the costs down. Travelling expenses accounted to more than at home, as being in central Europe distances to other European countries are so "short" and travelling easy, and during the year I visited Amsterdam, Paris, Biarritz, French Alps...

Personal comments
Opening a bank account in France is often compicated, bring all official forms you have with you just in case!! Also keep in mind when using "carte bleu", the local bank card, that you might go on debit, although the bank doesn't tell you this when you get the card. And interest rate is high, sure enough...

Close to the university and most of the other foreigners live there aswell. I'm talking about Ango by the way. It's not exactly Chateau Ango, but it's pleasant enough. I used to get up at 8.25 for 8.30 classes. Sorted. Bit of a trip to the town centre though, it must be said.

If you have the cash, stay in Arc 4. There's a swimming pool, sauna, loads of foreign students, and it basically looks like a hotel. It's not that central though, and ikt was out of my price range. For the budgeting student, go for Ango. On campus, cramped and noisy enough, but good value for money after the government allowance is taken into account. (130€)
