“Étudiante à Paris 1”
Dorçaf O
France, Undergraduate
Law, 2024
Overall
C’est une université de renommée mondiale, les étudiants viennent donc de plusieurs villes pays différents ce qui permet vraiment d’élargir ses horizons et de se développer en temps que personne. Le fait qu’elle soit située au cœur de la ville de Paris fait que la capitale toute entier est notre campus. C’est une expérience inouïe. Certes elles peut être perturbée par les blocus étudiants mais ne dit on pas que la France est le pays des Révolutionnaires haha ?
Les professeurs sont tout aussi renommés, quant à eux, puisque ce sont les auteurs des manuels de références dans leur matière.

“A great university for law students”
Natalia T
France, Graduate
Law, International, 2020
Overall
The Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University is one of the top universities in France in the domain of law. Thus, if you want to obtain a top-level degree course in law you need to choose this university. The university is located in the heart of the Latin quarter, which makes your stay in Paris and studies very pleasant, as the Latin quarter is one of the most beautiful places in Paris. Paris 1 is at the forefront of research and teaching in the fields of European studies, international relations, and law.

“Cours en ligne”

Overall
J'ai fait mon M1 à l'EMS à l'Université Panthéon Sorbonne, mais je n'ai malheureusement pu aller en cours en présentiel que deux semaines à cause de la pandémie, ce qui fait un peu court sur une année. Dommage car le bâtiment est magnifique, et le quartier plus que sympa. Concernant les professeurs, la majorité est impliquée dans leurs cours et avec les étudiants, ils ont envie qu'on réussisse et les cours sont de qualités. Concernant l'administration, il y a des améliorations à faire, dur d'avoir des réponses rapides aux mails, mais c'est comme toute université publique, il faut savoir se débrouiller.

Course recommendations
We didn't really have much choice when it came to courses as the university told what we had to do by our university. The courses were okay, one to aviod like the plague, is Macro 2 in the first semester; very hard and very dull. On the other hand, one that was good, was development economics. A lot of the Erasmus students did it too.

Personal comments
A lot of people didn't know that it existed, but SEGLAS runs a french course for two weeks before term starts, which was really good. There are four groups and you have to do a test for them to decide which group they put you in. For more details, contact the people in the Maison Internationale (Bv Arago). I met lots of Eramus student from it, that i kept in touch with all year.
The computer rooms' locations are ...SORBONNE: at the end of the Gallerie Dumas, turn right, then go down some stairs on the right, follow the corridor along and then the rooms are at the end on the left. TOLBIAC: 4th Floor Room C404 (follow signs to the libre service). PANTHEON: Escaliers G (near the accueil) 2nd Floor.

Personal comments
At the beginning the Parisians were talking back to me in English because I was insecure and had quite a strong accent. I pretended to not understand English. Sure that was quite an extra obstacle at the beginning, but the easier I git used to communicating in French.
At university teachers usually expect of you to already understand them brilliantly, I got called to the board in an Microeconomics class in the 4th week and didn't understand any of what the teacher was asking me about. I told him that I didn't understand but he thought that I was just pretending in order to be prevented from a "fail". I failed virtually all of my written class tests in the first bit of the first term. The problem was that my vocab was still too restricted, and it took me hours to read one page. I think I never worked so hard during the first term of university in my whole life. Although my marks were very bad in the first semester my French improved lots, and in the second semester I found it a lot easier to follow lectures and classes.

Personal comments
My favourite place: The Moose - 16, rue des Quatre Vents(Canadian bar - North American atmosphere, great English-speaking staff, home for many expats and foreigners. They stay open late for Super Bowl, Stanley Cup, etc.. All the fun stuff that you'll never get on cable tv.)
The Violon Dingue - Nightpub, open until 5am. The lower floor will make you feel like you're drinking in the catacombs. Very French, very "student."
The entire Latin Quarter is an incredible experience. Lots of partying, used book stores, student cafés with tables in the sun, cobblestone streets, etc. A very student-dominated area with lots of personality.
Paris is an exicting social hub and you are guaranteed a wonderful time no matter what your tastes. Swanky bars serving massive, decorate cocktails and playing funky tunes are everywhere, Salsa bars, jazz clubs, and outdoor festivals are in abundance and are very festive. Theatrical offerings are constant, classical concerts are played every single night all over town, and picnics in the gorgeous expanses of green parks are a heavenly experience.
Don't wait until the last week of your stay to profit from the museums - you get special prices as a student, and when you're walking in the park of the Rodin museum, it will help motivate you during your studies as you remember why you decided to study in such a phenomenal city.
