Personal comments
While the first month was spent in the "dorms" (which were small and unattractive) the rest of the year we had our own places--and had to look for them ourselves. It definitely took some effort, but eventually everyone found nice apartments. It took me some time, and one move, to find mine. But it was worth it-it was a fabulous little place and a great roomate.

I wish I had known...
There are a good deal more differences between french and english culture than I expected but I don't wish that I had been warned about it. Half the fun and excitement of being here was discovering and discussing all the social and cultural differences that I experienced.

Personal recommendation
The people are generally open minded and friendly at Toulouse Le Mirail and the university offered a wide range of diverse and fun activities including dancing, horseriding and snowboarding. The lessons were generally well taught and there was a huge range of courses to choose from.

As well as the benefits of the university itself, Toulouse is one of the most fun, diverse and beautiful cities I have ever seen. As well as being large and full of things to do, it is a place where you instantly feel at home. It is well situatued both for the mountains and the sea and there is some lovely scenery in the surrounding areas. My number one travel tip is to invest in the travel card called 'carte 12-25' which gives major discounts on train journeys. Apart from that just to get involved in as many activities as possible. It makes a huge difference in terms of being busy and meeting french people.

Course recommendations
I enjoyed the course that I did on journalistic translation because it provided the opportunity to use current french and english and helped a great deal with my french grammar.

some of the classes were badly organised due to high numbers so often, during exams and lessons, time was wasted; but generally academic life has been fine.

If you come to Toulouse check out Ryanair and easyjet for flights and you will save alot of money! Cheap places to eat are all around the universities. If you like going out get a Toulouse by Night Passport!
Get a subway card for transportation it is only 20 euros a month!

Bodega was a very international and fun! What was amazing was this passport called Toulouse by Night! Where I paid 15euros€ and had over 400 euros worth on freebies! Everypage had pretty much a free drink or something else like: a free tanning session it was really cool. I think everyone that Goes to Toulouse or lives in Toulouse should get one of these... It is a must! It has all the best places in Town and they offer free cocktails and beers! One night there was 14 of us doing a bar hopping with this passport... everything was free!! For almost all of us that had the passport the others I think they spent 60 or 70 euros, while we with the passport of Toulouse by night only spent 15euros. It is a must for everyone that lives in Toulouse! Other wise Toulouse is a student town that likes to Party!
