Université de Franche-Comté (UFC)

On a campus you have the possibility to meet a lot of other people. When you are going to live in another country it is sometimes very difficult to meet other people because of the language problems etc. But on a campus you have new 'friends' really soon. And you meet also a lot of other nationalities which is very fun.

I would choose to live in an apartment with other French students. The dorms were about a 25 minute bus ride from campus and downtown. The bathroom facilities were co-ed (pretty normal), but dirty and really not very safe. The toilets had no seats and everyone had to take his/her own toilet paper to the bathroom everytime. Finally, living with other French students would be nice because in the dorms all fo the Americans, Italians, etc all grouped together and spoke their native languages. Not conducive to learning French. The price was right 800ff/month=$110/month, but you paid for what you got.

An apartment would allow me more freedom to come and go as I please and I would be more likely to make it a "home;" adding to the experience of another culture.

IT GIVES YOUTHE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET OTHER STUDENTS.

Because campus is out of town and far from my faculté so would have to rely on the buses.

my program did not allow offcampus housing. more room would be helpful and a nice kitchen too.
