Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I lived in the - rather small but beautiful - city center, right near the IEP, and lots of other friends of mine (students) lived near me, so it wasn't like living alone in a big city.

Personal comments
There were also student resident halls to live in, but they were really poor quality.

Personal comments
I had spent some time in France already, so I was more or less fluent in French. You learn the political science vocabulary quickly (if you are willing to) and everybody is very helpful and understanding, if you have language problems.
