Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I relish in my independence, especially in new surroundings in which I want to explore freely. I initially lived with a host family upon arriving in Grenoble, but found it difficult to pursue both my goals of extensive travel and integration into the host family's environment.

Personal comments
Next to the campus, Avenue Gabriel Peri, there are two very cheap supermarkets, Ed and Lidl. And whenever you show your student card, you'll have a reduction on anything: public transport, sport, shops, hairdresser etc.

I wish I had known...
To take advantage of every opportunity. To not worry so much about school and try to experience the culture and country on my own.

In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
They try to educate you but also leave room for going out and seeing and meeting people/places. You'll learn more than in a classorom by doing this and they understand this. The classes were pretty easy for me but I was already pretty advanced in my language capabilities.

Became familiar with another culture
Met people from other countries
Experienced a change in life

Final comments
Meet as many people as you can....get out and travel, see the city you're in. Don't just hang out with other Americans. Try to meet students from your host country or other foreign students,. Live with a host family: the experience is much more rewarding in most cases.

Personal comments
My linguistic experience was somewhat limited, as I chose to travel each weekend, often outside of France. I have no regrets, just that I wish that when I was in France, I would have been even more perseverent in employing and building upon my French language skills.
