Personal comments
You can demand the CAF, which is normally granted for all students. For travelling with the train, I propose to buy the Carte 12-25, with this Carte you can economise alot of money.

Personal comments
The set up for interaction between french and international students should be better organised. Being a freemover it would have been easier to have somebody by your side that knows the system of the school.

Yes, I wanted to improve my French
How much did you improve your French?

Language difficulties

Personal comments
At the beginning it was difficult to understand the slang of all the local students so I asked when I did not get the meaning of words or special sentences. It was helpful that ESC La Rochelle offered all the foreign students a language course during the first two weeks.
