Université des Sciences Humaines (Strasbourg II)

The University provided many opportunities for finding accomodations once I arrived in Strasbourg. They also had utility companies present on campus to set up new accomodations.

Personally, I didn't get a chance to live in halls because there wasn't any space for me. If you intend to apply for halls accomodation, I suggest you do it pronto! Because it's relatively cheap to live in halls, the places go pretty quickly. From what I've heard from friends, it is good to live in halls because you have to interact with the students living in your dorm thereby making you speak french which is always a good thing. Everyone is generally very helpful, but don't expect to be living in luxury because its not. There is one kitchen and you have to share showers and toilets between (approx.) 15 students per floor.. (or maybe more). Apart from that though, it is a good experience because if you're lucky, some of these people will become great friends throughout the year.

The University of Strasbourg is currently renovating all the residences, I lived in Robertsau which was really nice and I had internet access from my room. The showers and kitchen could be dirty sometimes but it wasn't too bad, and the rooms were really clean.

The economic and social side of the university housing was excellent. I was also very lucky get a room on the paul-appell site next to the central campus and not far from the city centre, and close to good shops, restaurants and local transport links.

The location in Strasbourg is quite expensive, and the university dosent helps a lot.

It was in general a great experience studying at the Marc Bloch University where most of the professors do an excellent job.
