If you like to travel by rail and you're under 25 - buy the "carte 12-25" for 49€ and travel for half price at most of the time.

Personal comments
Library is poor - hardly any books availabla
In course, you're supposed to write anything the teacher says. Didn't like it at all - suppose this is cause I'm used to work independently with books.
30 ECTS is very much in Rouen (compared to my home university)

Overall
I wish I had known...
That I don't like the French university system - courses are boring in my opinion because you don't discuss but only write and study this by heart.

In my opinion:
Most people loved it.
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
If you don't have to do 30 ECTS - enjoy your stay, don't take too many courses and travel as much as you like.
If you have to do 30 ECTS - well, try to enjoy it as well ;-)

(1) Never – (4) A lot
Became familiar with another culture
Met people from other countries
Experienced a change in life
Advanced my studies & career
Final comments
Go and visit Paris at any time you can! Fist Sunday every month museums are free!
Having a car wouln't be bad especially for trips to the countryside or sea (e.g. Honfleur, Etretat, Deauville, Trouville etc) as public transport isn't that good.

Personal comments
Be careful with CROUS! They like to chage their rent very suddenly without warning. It's 40€ more in renovated romms if you're staying less than 8 months.
