Personal comments
I have learned a lot of slang, as well as management terms that I do not know in English. I think my comprehension and oral communication skills improved more than my written skills, probably due to the fact that there was so much group work.

Personal recommendation
I decided spend the first two years of my degree in European Management here (one of the first students from Lancaster University not to study here in their 3rd and 4th years!) and even though it was tough to start with, I can say that I made the right choice. In the end I really enjoyed myself and will really miss the french way of life and all the friends I made!

Personal comments
I shared a flat with 3 others which was a really good experience (most people on campus live in studios). Sharing a kitchen and a bathroom wasn't too bad and it meant that there was always someone to talk to!
