Université Charles de Gaulle - Lille 3

lots of international students and French speaking Africans, very mixed cultural backgrounds. Rooms were small (9 square meters) and had no kitchen (no fridge) or toilet. Toilets and showers were shared and well maintained, relatively clean. Supermarket on 5 min. walk. University not far away either (10 min. bike). Subway station very nearby. Some rooms (including mine) had nasty cog roaches.

Accommodation was well organised. I was given plenty of advice about insurance etc. I was glad however that I was not in halls, as they appeared to be of a poor standard.

none

I really apreciated the fact that the university provided to find location for entering students, but I would apreciated more sincerity on informing about the place. I was located in Roubaix, a suburb of Lille, well known for its level of violence. If I would have a car, eerything would have been much easyer.. and safer!!! During the second semester I moved to an apartment in the center of Lille.. More expensive, but much better!!!

unclean, but an ideal place to meet new firends

Lille is a nice city, Lille III is a good University with a lot of services for the students, and people there are very friendly
