Overall
The courses at Sciences Po are designed carefully specific to different subject matters and lectures are delivered by experts on that fields. Besides, students are obliged to apply their theoretical knowledge into practical exercises through the class projects and assignments. 

The career department help the students in the process of fabricating CV, finding potential job fitted to their interest and expertise.

Overall
Diversité des cours qui élargit le champ des connaissances, lectures extrêmement intéressantes. Rythme de travail très soutenu donc des fois difficulté à concilier les obligations scolaires avec la vie personnelle ou étudiante. Offre associative large et intéressante. Professeurs de CM exceptionnels et pointures dans leurs domaines. Profs de TD peu impliqués. Pas de présence de compétitivité toxique entre les élèves.

Sciences Po Paris- Reims Campus
Ana A
France, Undergraduate
Political Science, 2022
Overall
Sciences Po Paris is by far one of the best European universities when it comes to teaching methodology. Classes are not too specific and that is because most students go on to pursue master studies at the Paris Campus. In other cases, students are part of Dual BAs and continue their careers in their second destination, specializing in the desired field in such destination. Most of the teachers that we interact with on a one-on-one level are PhD students.

Personal spending habits
In my case, even though Im Greek, my home would be the UK since that's where my home university is. London in general is much more expensive than Paris especially foodwise. In Paris you can have a really good meal without paying a lot of money. Whereas in London you can pay a lot of money and still eat really badly. I paid more on telephone in Paris since most of my friends where in London and my family in Greece. As far as nightlife is concerned, Paris is less expensive and if you live in a central location you rarely need to use taxis. In London nightllife is really expensive and taxis are a factor that make it so unbelievably expensive. In the case of travel, the reason why I spent more in Paris is because I actually travelled more during my year abroad. Paris offers you the opportunity to visit many places by train and also in very good prices. I visited Switzerland, Spain, Holland and also the South of France and Corsica.

Personal comments
In paris you can get a percentage of your rent back from the government when you are a student.However, your landlord must agree to sign the papers in order to do this which means that he has to be legally renting.So before renting a flat you should ask if they are willing to sign the relevant papers. Also, when you are a student in Paris you can get the card IMAGINE-R which gets you cheaper metro tickets.
