“Great University with a lot of Facilities”
Yos S
France, Graduate
Marketing and Sales Management, 2019
OverallThe program is too dense for economic reason, 6 meetings (2-3 hours per meeting) in one subject. Schedule planning is sudden and change from time to time. Too many things to work on in one time.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Nice to have an Apartment - the student rooms I saw were not anywhere I could have lived. Very small and nowhere to cook food. I would though have decided to live closer to the center than I did now. I had 35 min walk into the city and the last bus into town was 20.30- too early. Would have been easier to live in the center. It was though cheaper to live a bit outside.

Personal comments
I didn't live in the student accommodations - they were very cheap but also low standard in my opinion. Ok I guess if you do not expect too much. A lot of people actually live there.

Course recommendations
I followed the ready made study plan - best to do that otherwise it will be difficult to get all the courses to go together and fit into the schedule.

Personal comments
It was all right. No books used which surprised me a bit. All information was from photocopies and notes from the lectures. Mandatory participation in all lectures (a bit too parental compared to what I was used to) but it worked out all right. The exams were fairly easy if you followed the course - you pass the exam.

Final comments
Important is to be careful where you live and if you share who you share with. You are going to spend time at home so it's important. Some areas are not the best - don't live too far from center if you like going out in the evening since bus services stop going very early. Make sure you travel around a lot and discover the beautiful south of France. There is so much to see. Make the best of your stay and learn French - do not be afraid to speak. Bonne Chance!

Personal spending habits
Utilities in France are super expensive. Watch out for EDF and FranceTelecome! But the nightlife, the TGV(train) and the food were very reasonable, even cheaper than in Canada.

Housing, Telephone, Overall:
was more expensive than at home.
Nightlife:
was the same price as at home.
Food, Travel:
was less expensive than at home.
Accessibility of student needs
Second-hand household items
Personal comments
Once again, I suggest you apply at CAF for a rent subsidy for students. Phoning long distance with FranceTelecome was too expensive. Look for phone cards. Go to the Market - great food, cheap. And a second hand bike to get around town.
