Personal comments
More information about the host universities; a consistent and fair grading; try to create similar conditions for ERASMUS-students as the students were very angry because of many "methods" concerning grading; there was too little information in general.

Final comments
There should be a distribution of financial funds that better matches the real life-expenses in the host countries or even in different cities. As daily life in Paris was extremely expensive regarding the overall costs, I cannot understand that there is such a little financial compensation for students going abroad to Paris.

Personal comments
I chose two language courses in French. One course thaught by the head of the institute of French was excellent. It was the most and maybe the only completely satisfying course I attended in Paris. Through this education I was able to improve my French skills sharply. The communication with other students was rather easy and it was fun. In fact, the improvement of language was the only positive aspect in relation to academic education at DAUPHINE.
