Review of University Paris X
Marwa M
France, Undergraduate
Language, 2020
Overall
Being a student in the university of Paris Nanterre is so interesting, this isn't like any other college. 
First of all, it is a huge campus based near " La Défense " and have everything you could ask for : appartements, a pool, a tennis club, gym, many restaurants and more. Trains ( rer A,L...) and buses can take you to the university. That is in total more than 30.000 people who study there, some of our politicians/celebrities and current French president graduated from Nanterre University     
(Emmanuel Macron, Nicolas Sarkozy, Christine Lagarde, David Guetta, Dominique de Villepin...).
Thanks to our teachers, they set the bar high. I have never met an unqualified professor during my studies, they were all pretty good and offered me so much in terms of advices. I study in foreign languages so Nanterre university welcome qualified teachers from everywhere around the world: Australia, United Kingdom, United States, Spain, Mexico, Russia , this is some professors I had the chance to study with. Students as well come from every part of the globe, which is so unique and interesting because you get to talk with them and make new friends. 
The place feels alive, there is parties, travels, associations, foreign students...
My course taught me so much, i am currently studying law, economics, political and economical translation in English and Spanish, Russian. I have never used many different work tools and it feels great and rewarding.

Personal recommendation
not to go. i think that an international study experience is one of the best things anyone can do in their student life, but this University does not meet the minimum requierements in social or acadameic life, so I would tell people to go to a different parisian or french University.

If you realy want to know how France is, travel all around this marvellous country. paris is not representative of the whole France, so travel as much as you can. You'll never forget that.

Historia del Arte en Paris
Ramon V
Spain, Graduate
History of Art, 2014
Overall
Muy recomendada, Paris es el sitio ideal para estudiar los periodos del arte moderno y comienzos del arte contemporaneo del siglo XX, los edificios y construcciones que se pueden encontrar en esta ciudad permiten contextualizarse en estos ultimos  periodos del arte europeo

Careers
La carrera de historia del arte en la Univerisidad Paris X de nanterre, esta focalizada sobre el periodo antiguo, medieval , moderno y contemporaneo. Para el que quiere especializarse en la antiguedad y el periodo medieval, existen muchas oportunidades de practicas, salidas internacionales e instituciones en general que preservan las colecciones artisticas de estos periodos, en el caso de los periodos moderno y contemporaneo existen menos oportunidades y desafortunadamente tambien hay mas estudiantes que desean especializarse en estos periodos, lo que hace que sea aun mas dificil de encontrar practicas y empleos en estas areas.

Overall
I wish I had known...
If something goes wrong, there is no support system in place. I got seriously ill and had to come home for a month, and neither my home nor host university helped me in any way, or offered me advice. I got no compensation in my exams, which I failed, then had to work extra hard in the second semester to make up the marks. Also, photocopy every official document you have at least 10 times, and bring a lot of passport photos, you need them for everything!

The university itself isn't in a good area, but it's very accessible from Paris. There's a big international community, and there is a good sports centre on campus, with a swimming pool.

Final comments
I had a fantastic year, Paris is a beautiful city, but not the easiest Erasmus year going, academically or socially. The Irish College was a great place to meet people, but I should have moved out earlier to integrate better. Having said that, I'd do the year all over again if I could!
