Personal comments
The St Michel district of Paris was a highlight. Known as the Latin quarter of Paris it has plenty of bars and cafes for students and tourists alike, not to mention for the locals. The area also has the Notre Dame Cathedral as a backdrop.

It's sometimes hard to get to know the local students, but just keep trying and they will appreciate the effort you make. I think I have learned a lot of the language while there, but it goes so graduately that you hardly notice.

I was able to perfect my french language knowledge. The school offers a huge range of language courses. I choose Spanish and Russian in addition. Some courses are in English which gave me the possibility to improve it, too.

Personal comments
Students should use the first weeks to visit Paris etc. because later in the semester a lot of group work and essays have to be done. Our second semester is more comfortable and we have time to enjoy events etc.
