International students must follow (in most cases) a french class all through the year. Depending on the teacher, this can be alright -or an absolute waste of time.

Housing
Type of housing: a small studio
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I feel that an independently organised accomodation would suit me best. However, next time around I wold love to live with some friends, rather than alone.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Having lived both in an appartment for three years in London(2yrs) and Paris(1yr) and in university halls in London my first year I would say that I definitely prefer living in my own appartment. It gives you a greater feeling of independence and also you get to chose the area you live in. This is very important, as in order to be productive in what you do,you have to be content with your living environment.
