“Bonne expérience”

Overall

J'ai d'abord fait deux années de prépa littéraire au lycée Chaptal à Paris, avant d'aller en L3 à la Sorbonne pour continuer en Lettres, Edition, Médias, et Audiovisuel pour travailler la communication et le journalisme. J'aime beaucoup mes cours à la fac, ils sont variés et trés intéressants.
Nos professeurs sotn exigeants et passionnants, et on apprend également à murir, à être curieux et autonome pour travailler.

Pros

renommée, cours d'excellence, ouverture internationale, diversité de cours

Cons

administration de la fac, plus de soutien de la part des professeurs envers les élèves
