The only thing you have to know for your exam is what the prof has dictated! I didn't buy any books that year and passed all my exams...

Overall
I wish I had known...
That my room on campus was that small! I packed my car and had to leave half of my stuff in the car. But it wasn't such a big problem.

If it's possible, go by car, that way, you're really free to do what you want. Visit Italy, it's only half an hour away!

Personal comments
Ask rent support! Somethinf else that really sound cheap but saves you a lot of money, is that people in Nice throw everything away (even when it's brand new). I found a microwave, a color tv and a (new!) vacuum cleaner on the street, it all worked perfectly, it's really incredible.

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: First campus, then appartment
Why?
First campus to meet other students, then in an appartment because of better facilities.

Personal comments
The university itself will not do anything, you will have to go to the CROUS, where you can choose on which campus you want to live. The price is really great (about 120 euro!).

Personal comments
Go to Tapas, this is not a tapas-bar but a bar where you can drink shots, good prices! Jonathan's if you want to hang with the locals and play some bingo (drinks can be won..), Subway if you like (hard)rock, avoid the big disco's in Nice! (too much money for nothing), go to Eze for the beautiful view, villefranche has a nice beach, check out the promenade des anglais at 7 in the morning in the summer..
