Book accommodation in university residence well in advance. Work and save some money before going, especially if you have no living parents to support you.

Personal comments
I thoroughly enjoyed my language experience In Dijon. My favorite activity was le jeu de piste. We went downtown with a list of questions and the objective was to ask the locals about their town and to become more familiar with the town by communicating with the local people. All of the teachers were very friendly and patient, and were interested to teach foreign students. The Dijonnais are fairly used to the city being full of foreign students, so they too were quite friendly It was difficult to meet other French students during the summer. I really was impressed with the over-all program.
