“L’ISIMA (Institut Supérieur d’Informatique, de Modélisation et de leurs Applications)”

Overall

L’ISIMA est une grande école d’Ingénieurs en Informatique en Auvergne, axée sur les métiers de l’Informatique et de ses applications.
Habilitée par la Commission des titres (CTI) à délivrer le diplôme d’ingénieur depuis sa création, l’école accueille chaque année près de 120 nouveaux étudiants, recrutés sur le Concours Commun Polytechniques et sur dossier à partir de BAC+2 (L2/DUT/BTS).
Les cours y sont interressants. d'autant plus grâce à la division des étudiant en 5 filières en deuxième année.

Le campus se situ à côté de Clermont-Ferrand (Aubière) et le réseaux de transport en commun permet de rejoindre facilement le centre ville.

Clermont à également l'avantage d'être une ville très étudiante. Il est donc facile d'y trouver un logement.

Pros

Un réseau d’entreprises fort, des parcours et double diplomations à l’international

Cons

Quelques prof vieillissant qui ont parfois du mal à s'adapter au niveau des étudiants

Overall

I wish I had known...

Had I known that there was such a little American colony in Clermont-Ferrand, I probably would have chosen a different city. I wanted to use French and be immersed in the culture as much as possible. That was very difficult at Université Blaise Pascal.

In my opinion:

Stay home.

Personal recommendation

I HIGHLY recommend studying abroad. But I recommend going to a different city. My previous study abroad trip in Reims was excellent, could not have been better! But the one in Clermont-Fd was a bit disappointing.

During my experience abroad, I ...

Final comments

Use a Visa check card to draw money out of your account at home at the ATM's. You won't get better rates, and it's very easy to manage money that way. Of course, you have to keep track of what you're withdrawing! Bring a comfortable pair of walking shoes, as you will be doing a lot of walking. And bring a pair of shoes to wear out (i.e. not tennis shoes). Most clubs/discotheques do not allow tennis shoes. Meet the locals whenever you have the chance. Speak the local language as much as possible to improve. Make friends with other international students at your school. Keep in touch with them after you get home by sending them a birthday card or Christmas card every year.

Final comments

It's a rough stay, no luxuries but you will get used to it and love it in the end. The best thig is that because there are no luxuries you leave campus and meet amazing new people.
