Université de Bourgogne

Get information before you get there so you know what they offer and what you want to take. Familiarize yourself with the French system! Be persistant in getting information once you get there and don't let yourself be discouraged by the reserved manner of people you might face. They have a lot do to at the university and tend to be a little bit unpatient. ( Madame Piroel of the English department is an angel and will do everything to help you!)

It's a little confusing to find out where the board is that has all the information one needs. They seem to be scattered all over the place.

I did a lot of research so I wasn't to suprised. Check train times before booking your plane ticket!!!! I had to camp out in a train station for awhile because I didn't check train times.

I liked it a lot. Try to go during the year when the locals actually go to school. The school is only used for international students during the summer. I would have learned a lot more during the school year.
