just generally more about how the french live, where it's best to get food, go out etc

Go out of your way to make friends with the french; it's quite easy to avoid them altogether!

UPEM courses are easy, as most of them require only a written report and a group presentation for assessment. Even those with exams are painfully simple. To really improve your language, recommend following the ESC courses with the french students, and there is a wide selection of interesting courses. However, most of these are assessed 100% by exam, so you may fins yourself with loads of exams to take at the end of the term while the exchange students party.

If your university accredits them, then take the UPEM courses, as they are the easiest way to get high marks and therefore credits. However, to really improve your French, take the ESC courses.
