Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: community
Why?
I don´t know if I got this question right! When you asked me where I´m going to live, when I get back home, then my aswer is community, because I like to live with people!

Personal comments
We didn´t have to care about a search, when we communicated early with the office at the host university. The prices here in Toulouse are high for an appartement, but every student gets financial help from the state! Then it´s OK!

Personal comments
there is no Dico-dulture here in Toulouse like in Germany! Most is in bars and some nightclubs. Best places: cafe populaire, l´ambassade, la maison, la soule (pour la champions league!)

Overall
I wish I had known...
In my opinion:
Most people loved it.
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
Stop this elite-feeling for politics-students at this IEP´s! That is the reason why so many no-life-people (frensh) are there! Especially the political sciences need people who know what it´s worth living for!!!!
Most of the students think, they are already ministers and forget to develop their character!

Academic
Course recommendations
the system here is for me strange because there are hardly courses of discussions! And the habbite is to beleave the prof and not confirm things with original texts. Very school-like!

Personal comments
Because I couldn´t speak frensh, the other foreign students and the frensh-course of the university were essential, because for learning a language I need training in using it! This is only possible with the other foreign people, when you don´t speak the language at all! The native speakers get annoyed!
