There are pluses and minuses to the housing options. Dorms are nice cause they are near campus and with the majority of students. Unfortunately they are a fair distance away from downtown Rouen, which can be a real pain at night, and it inconvenient for discovering the city. An apartment with French students is the best, but there is no help in finding a good one. There are student studios downtown, but they are ridiculously expensive, and you will almost certainly not make friends in them. Most of the French students are very introverted in their housing.

I had an apartment downtown which was really nice and convenient. Unfortunately my roommate was a douche.

The actual university is very good, but not so much the classes that are available to international students. If you want some really good classes, look elsewhere.

Rouen was a cool city to visit and live in for a while. I really learned a lot about Normandy; it's history and culture. Rouen was nice at first, because it was urban, yet had a keen sense of history and quaintness. Paris would have been too much to handle at first. However, I am more urbanely focused, and quickly mastered and tired of Rouen. If you are afraid of a huge city, Rouen is very comfortable and safe, but if you are from New York or a comparable large city, you'll probably be wishing you had chosen Paris.
Don't take international finance. The teacher doesn't know what she's doing, and you won't learn a thing in the class. I didn't. The french for biz class was somewhat interesting, but not useful in regards to actual things you'd need to know to work in france. It's more of a french class that presents the material in the form of business situations.

This school uses the most ridiculous testing methods I've ever experienced. Your final grade basically is the combination of attendance and a final paper/exam.

Most of my classes were in English because I was concerned about my pressure for grades, but taking the classes in english basically made everything extremely easy.

Careful, at first you will be tempted to eat out a lot. By the middle of your stay, everyone will be eating pasta in their dorms. think ahead and spend frugally at first. You'll be happy when everyone catches up to your mindset.
