Haute Ecole Galilée

I guess everybody knows the feeling of being part of the Erasmus gang. Although we were only 4-5 students in International Relations, I hardly had contacts with the local students and I regret it. The few locals students i befriended though became really good friends.

I chose 4 classes (2 for each semesters) and passed exams in february and June. I was awarded the same marks despite how poor I fared on 2 exams. I'm not going to complain but it didn't reflect my real abilities. I suspect teachers had a guideline abour assessing Erasmus. Teachers are very approachable (it's a small faculty) and did every thing they could to make things easier, giving you advice, invinting you to conference, etc.

Food was cheaper, I barely used the phone (we had a cell-phone that was provided by the landlord for everyone in the house and it had a card, when the card expired, we could still receive call, I bought phone cards from time to time in case I needed to call friends or family.

I had no bad surprises at all... except that I thought I'd interact more with my host-university students, I was a little disappointed about that. To compemsate, my flatmate was the best and I met some amazing people, some of whom I am still in contact with today.

Actually, I had chosen LLUIS has a first choice but was awarded Roma 3 and I didn't regret it at all. Roma 3's Political science faculty still hasn't been moved to the main campus (it opened after I left) so, it still feels like a small university. You will have no problems getting lost to find your classroom or visit the teacher to ask questions, etc.
