Languages
Language of instruction: French
Was learning French a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my French
How much did you improve your French?
My level before: Basic phrases
My level after: At ease in most situations
Language difficulties
Administrative / Institutional
Personal comments
At the beginning it was difficult to make the others understanding me, the pronunciation in the language of instruction (French) is more important than I thought, anyway the most of the people tried to make us feel confortable (to the foreign students, in general) and that helps a lot!

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Living in the campus was good as I didn't have to take public transport to get to the university, but now I think it'd be best to live in a house or in an apartment in order to know better the town and to have more intimacy, though I also think that living with a family have more advantages if you want to improve the language

Personal comments
I lived in an universitarian residence; in my opinion it was ok except for the shower and the toilet which were collective (in fact that was a problem only during the first days, after I got used to that)
