Personal comments
The fact that I have been in France for more than a year has helped me to learn a lot about the culture, in addition to the language. Just by living here I have acquired a lot of language skills. Unfortunately we do not have much to do with writing at the moment. I would have enjoyed improving my writing skills at the same time.

Department ESTHUA of this University where I had studied is located in a very scenic area by the river maine. Although the library, which is named "centre de documentation" is small and can be congested at times, it has quite interesting books and I felt that there was a rather informam atmosphere which put me into very much at ease. Overall, i like the place.
