Comentario personal
I had visions of striking up conversations in Paris with friendly shop keepers. Silly me - this did NOT happen! I found the Parisians to be seriuos and somewhat closed - off. As a result my opportunities to speak the language were less than anticipated. I don't know, maybe in Provence you would find friendlier people.
Overall though I would still say I learned a TON - there is nothing like living in a language!

Costumbres personales de gasto
Absolutely everything in Paris was much more expensive than in Canada. Really, at one point I had to stop converting prices in my head or else I'd starve! Money lost all it's value in Paris - it might as well have been Monopoly currency!

Comentario personal
I was most suprised by the huge amounts I spent just on feeding myself. Really I would say that board was my number one expenditure! No way to get around that though . . .

Si lo hubiera sabido...
I wish that I knew how much the entire experience was going to cost - I had the money to spend it was just a bit of a shock - that's all.

Recomendación personal
My recommendation to the Sorbonne is to improve the services it provides to it's international students. Those of us in the program I took paid for one semester what 12 people in the regular program pay for a year! That's why I find it ridiculous that we can't even access the Sorbonne library - it's insane!

GO! There are downfalls but the good definitely outweighs the bad. You'll have a fantastic time, your French will improve enormously, and you'll meet people from all over the world. And when you're sitting in a cafe overlooking the Seine have another glass of wine for me! ;o)

Estudios
Recomendaciones de cursos
I studied in the Language and Civilizations program at the Sorbonne; because I did the autumn semester I didn't get much of a course choice.
I will say that the courses for the most part were very good. The civilization lectures could have been better though - particularly the Lit. one which was just horrible! BUT the Versailles one - that was magnificent - absolutely magnificent! The Prof. was incredible!!

The dictations you do in language class are atrocious and be warned you'll do horribly on them. Good news is they're excellent prep for the final which will seem easy by the time you're done.

Alojamiento
Tipo de alojamiento: I lived in a student foyer not too far from school
Organizado por: Independientemente - no había otra opción
Si volviera, eligiría: Foyer
¿Por qué?
I think the foyer situation was ideal. Really I lived in a magnificent area on Boulevard Saint Michel right across from the Luxembourg Gardens. In terms of bang for my buck I don't think I could have done any better!

You get absolutely no help with housing from the Sorbonne. If possible try to get into a foyer if not then just go and hoof it looking for places in the city. Becareful with the areas you end up in though!

Let's face it Paris is a fantastic city to be in and you're bound to discover many little hidden gems. I personally loved hanging out at La Coupole after class and having their wonderful hot chocolate.
