Course recommendations
Take as many as possible at first, then decide which ones suit you and drop the others. Also, don't be afraid of the French language courses, you'll catch on eventually!

Not really! Everything was well arranged by the host institution. Non EU students still need to pass through some time consumming administrative activities like applying for a residence permit etc.

Final comments
I would recommend you to apply for the student residence offered by the University- it is very valuable for making contacts with the other international students and it's really close to the school.
The metro and the RER are very fast and effective way to travel in Paris. If you like to travel a lot, apply for a carte jaune.

Personal recommendation
Give the foreign students as much information on everyday things and customs and habits as much as possible. inform them about the school policies such as internships. Do Not forget that they are non french students and inform the lecturers about it, so that they can pay attention to them and ask them for feedback during classes.

Final comments
Do not fight or compare french culture with your own, eventhough certain things are handled differently then at home. You are in France, go with the flow of everyday life, embrace it so it can embrace you. You will have a great time!

Course recommendations
The course where a bit too technical for me. I prefer more the marketing side and this was more of the commercial and logistical side.

In the beginning I was afraid to make mistakes. When the contact with the French students grew, my French is improving and the fear is gone. It is just not an automatism yet, but the year is not over yet.
