Université de Rouen

I FOUND OUT THAT I HAD MORE MENEY THAN I NEEDED. IN ALL, EXCEPT FOR THE TRAVELS, THE BUDGET SHOULD BE THE SAME AS IF IN THE US.

I SPOKE FRENCH BEFORE I WENT TO FRANCE, ALTHOUGH IT WAS NOT THE PROPER FRENCH (A FRENCH THAT HAS BEEN MODIFIED) I HAD NO PROBLEM AT ALL COMMUNICATING WITH THE FRENCH AT ANY LEVEL.

I THINK EVERY STUDENT SHOULD SPEND A SEMESTER OR A YEAR ABROAD. IT WAS VERY ENTERTAINING. I DID NOT FEEL THAT I WAS GOING TO SCHOOL BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT AS MANY TESTS AND QUIZZES AS IN THE US. I WISH I HAD TRAVELED MORE BOTH INSIDE FRANCE AND IN EUROPE. SO BRING A LOT OF MANEY AND HAVE FUN!

i CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAME OF THE CAFE BUT I KNOW IT IS NOT FAR FROM LA RUE DU GROS HORLOGE. THAT IS WHERE WE USUALLY MEET SOME NIGHTS ESPECIALLY DURING THE WEEK-END.i DID NOT GO OUT THAT MUCH. WE USUALLY HAVE PRIVATE PARTIES AT HOME.I TRAVELED A LOT BUT MOST OF MY PERSONAL EXCURSIONS WERE OUTSIDE OF FRANCE. THE HOST UNIVERSITY HAD ORGANIZED THE LOCAL TRIPS FOR US. I THINK THAT I HAD VISITED ALMOST EVERYTHING THERE IS TO SEE AROUND PARIS, FROM THE EIFFEL TOWER TO MONT SAINT MICHEL TO THE LOIRE CHATEAUX.

i WAS A FULLY INTEGRATED STUDENT. I WAS ABLE TO CHOOSE MY OWN COURSE AND WORKLOAD. i REALLY ENJOYED MY STAY AT THE UNIVERSITY.
