I wish I knew that I was probably going to end up speaking more English than I thought I would with students from my own program.

Great program, great area, close to the mountains, great people. Small town so it's easy to get to know, but just big enough.

Traveling is fun but can be very expensive even if you are sleeping on trains and staying in cheap hostels. Plan carefully and sometimes its just fun to go without planning.

I do completely agree with the first review. Personally, I would add Loco Mosquito Pub monday's. Don´t forget about the many bbqs that take place on the campus, exactly on the "love island" (ile d'amour).But above all, London Pub is the more succesfull one.

You will find that you interact mainly with other foreign students. Make an effort to meet local students and you will learn more. Alternatively get involved in activities outside the university. Eg. I played rugby for a local club and got a job in a bar
