Université de Bourgogne

Spent more on beer and liquor but I'm over it

My advice: fail the placement test on purpose and get put into level III (ie movie class)

Plow as much as you can and school becomes much more enjoyable

I like being independent with my own space

Take as many electives as possible because the challenge really pushed me into over-drive. The variety of speaking and teaching is rewarding. I made a lot of progress in comprehension because of the afternoon lectures.

The professors I spent most of my time with were highly qualified and very creative in their approach. Of course, it's best to keep the groups as small as possible and the keep the groups as internationally mixed as possible.

During the summer time the majority of the students living in the dorms are foriegn. I was really looking forward to practicing my French, but no one on my floor was French, the majority were Chinese exchange students with little knowledge of the langague. Most of the people that were studying with Miami University spoke English a lot of the time which was frusterating as well since I wanted to improve my fluency in French.
