I came to this city and university to better my French. I just wish I had had more contact with local students, which was very rare.

Overall
I wish I had known...
The French are a bit wary of foreigners in the beginning. However don't be despaired, once you get to know them over a bit longer timeframe they are warm and kind people with a nice sense of humor.
