Personal recommendation
not to go. i think that an international study experience is one of the best things anyone can do in their student life, but this University does not meet the minimum requierements in social or acadameic life, so I would tell people to go to a different parisian or french University.

If you realy want to know how France is, travel all around this marvellous country. paris is not representative of the whole France, so travel as much as you can. You'll never forget that.

There's a super cafe where jazz concerts are played every night: Cafe Universal. Concerts are free, and you can have a nice experience right there.Adress: rue Saint Jacques, 268 (5 arrondissement). Anyway, everybody knows there's plenty to do in Paris if you have the time, so enjoy yourselves and try the experinece of discovering Paris by yourself!

Housing
Type of housing: Student Residence
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
i would have an independence that I didn't have while I lived in the Residence. I could also live in a clean ambiance.
