“Master LEA - Citadelle”

Language, 2024
OverallLe campus Citadelle offre un cadre agréable pour étudier. Les cours de langues sont intéressants et les matières tertiaires telles que le Marketing/Economie/Logistique vous donneront de bonnes bases. Les formations sont polyvalentes donc on ne va jamais trop en détails dans une seule matière.

L'université de Picardie Jules Verne est un très bon lieu pour étudier, avec ses nouveaux locaux très aptes au travail, je suis en LEA en fac de langues, les professeurs sont presque tous des natifs de la langue qu'ils nous enseignent. J'apprécie vraiment mon université.

Personal spending habits
It's hard to compare this system with the one back home because I was given a stipend at my host institution whereas in the States food and lodging was already paid for. If you go through ISEP to come to Université de Picardie Jules Verne, you'll be in for a rude awakening on how much you receive in stipend money. It was barely enough to cover food and lodging at first with scrimping. Then, me and the other ISEP exchange students had to rally together to get an additional 40 Euros, putting the stipend up to 385 Euros per month. Out of that I had to pay 182.84 Euros per month in rent. And, the rest went to food. So, word of caution: make sure you understand your monetary responsibilities before diving into a study abroad program! Also, I spent less on a telephone because I didn't have one. Everyone...I mean EVERYONE...has a cell phone in France. We didn't even have a permanent phone in our apartment. I couldn't afford a cell phone on my stipend or my personal savings. Save a lot of money for travel because the school only takes you on one to two trips per semester (and usually they're only one-day deals). There is an international club called Philéas Fogg. They do trips. But, you have to pay to go on them. Keep that in mind. I had to pay 35 Euros for a weekend trip to the Loire Valley. It was well worth it, though.

Personal comments
Significant financial surprise was that I had to set up a bank account for my stipend when I arrived. I expected that part to be taken care of by the International Office. Also see my comments in number 3. Cost-saving tips: don't buy a cell-phone if you don't need to. I used pre-paid phone cards the whole time (that my Aunt from the States was more than willing to supply me with!). If you plan on going out dancing and drinking, buy your alcohol at the grocery stores and drink at your place beforehand, then go dancing. It's too expensive to drink at the bars. Also, restaurants are expensive as well. You won't be able to afford it on your stipend.

Personal comments
I have acquired a better vocabulary and confidence in my French abilities during my stay here. Sometimes it is difficult; I'll have to admit. And, sometimes you feel dumb and embarrassed and want to give up. But, you deal with it and move on and grow. It's an experience I wouldn't change for the world!
