Université des Sciences et Technologie de Lille: Lille I (USTL)

The students associations can be a very good source of information and by getting involved in such organizations, people can benefit more from their international experience. So do not miss the opportunity. Get involved! One can adapt to the cultural context more easily, go to organized trips and can make a lot of friends.

I wasn't surprised as I've travelled a lot before,I got used to different costs in the western Europe.

I was happy to have my own room but i was disappointed that there was no place to meet with other students, even it could be simple for example a kitchen to prepare meals together, there was no place to organise any events (like birthday or barbeque)there was always problems with noise and security,on the campus there were students restaurants opened for lunch and for dinner but nothing more...oh maybe i forgot about one automatic shop:)One of advantage to live there it was this that university was very close concerning lacation of campus-by metro it was 15 minutes from the center of city.

for me the language was the main reason to go to France.. my French was pretty mediocre before I went on Erasmus and it's especially good for your vocabulary
