Personal spending habits
As I was based in Paris, food and drink is generally more expensive than in my host university (Cardiff) which is a much cheaper City to live in. At home I did not travel during the academic year, whereas on the ERASMUS exchange the general trend was to travel around Europe as we were based in a prime central European location.

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
You have everything you need there and moreover they offer free sports facilities. It is also good in terms of communication, especially if you are trying to learn language.

Personal comments
The only problem was the absence of hot water for about 4 days and it is a bit cold in the rooms before the heating period stats.

Academic
Course recommendations
Overall the courses given are very good, although there are some teachers who seem determined to make life difficult for the students the courses are well given, and in a fun and interactive way.

Personal comments
Don't plant so many exams in 2 weeks. Even if you study ahead this does not make it easier. Two weeks no sleeping kind of wears you out.

Personal comments
Nightlive in Cergy is reduced to organised parties by the university (which are marvellous!!), a few pubs, a nightclub and a few nice restaurants. The school offers a booklet each year where all(!) places are described and quoted. It is useful to have a car in order to go to Paris and there you can find all kind of entertainment!
