Overall
I wish I had known...
So many things... but maybe that's the pleasure of discovering. Maybe i'd wish to take more time to read about the city, and certainly to find a house before arrival.

Personal comments
Paris is a big city, not always people find the time to be nice. The Administrative Institutions are the worse, they help you but they refuse to speak other language, just the french. Tip: learn as much french as you can before you arrive. At University, things go easier, aren't we all in the same?

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I'd get my own independence, and i'd have the chance of being surrounded by all the people from the city and not just by students.

Personal comments
Pretty dificult to find a house in Paris. And the University Services do not help much. It's a life lesson to find your own place in that huge and beautiful city.
