Université de Picardie Jules Verne

In my experience, it's best to steer clear of T.D.'s, which stands for Travaux Dirigés. They are the hands-on portion of some courses. They're killer if you haven't been there for the first part of the academic year and have no clue what's going on. I reccommend taking the European Integration course with Mr. Schackenbourg. He's great with international students! Same with Mr. Traverso in Political Theories. If you can though, try to take all your courses in one fac (i.e. Languages, Law, Economics, etc.) instead of diversifying across different facs (like I did) because YOU are the one that has to run around all over eternity to find out when your final exams are for each different fac. They're not all the same time and day. And, usually the professors don't know themselves when they are! So, you usually have to look at the posters in each different fac (department) building.

See number 2 above. And, the French education system is what it is. I don't like that I don't get graded until I take one test at the very end of a semester. But, that's the whole French system not just this particular university. Also, the administration is not really effective when it comes to organization or communication (see number 2 above again).

Good foreign language instruction

I would require a better coordination. foreign students are really lost when coming to the city

In the first year you don't have any choise at all.
