Overall
I wish I had known...
I wish I had know which people to meet and where to save my time. I wish had chosen the best enterprise in the town and to find my frined there. I wish I had know what to do to succeed even more than I did. I wish I had power to refuse certain possibilities that were waisting my energy that I could have devoted to studies, work and being with others.

University of Caen is located in a city of Guillaume Conquerante. It is know for its´ historical monuments some from the eleventh century.

Final comments
In general, Caen is a city which one may want to see. Ocean, historical sites, friends, situation that will touch his/her heart, there are things one may experience just once in his/her life. Further, several travel agencies will provide you with their services.
The night life offers those who want to very good possibilities how to have fun, get to know the tradition of having great meals while talking to others.
Cinemas, theatres, athletics game belong just to some of the possibilities in this growing city. It may be a good idea to consult internet, quides, people as well as to get ready in advance. Each and every person may choose the way of improvement by himself/herself.

Not too much space. That was the reason why I decided to earn some money and rent a house not too far from the ocean.

Personal social experience
Personal comments
According to my opinion, it is a great experience to party with your friends. This way I have learned more about people with which I have worked, studied and lived. We have shared some moments together which I will never forget in my life. Some of us god married, other continue to impove his/her education, job experience, find great companies and people to work with. Alsoo, there is a possibility for new friendships and other relationships.
In conclusion Caen may be a good place for studies since one may learn new language and become an important working element in the society. It is an ideal place to start the professional career and later continue in some western country. One may have very nice night experiences while having good and stable background.
