Personal comments
I greatly improved my skills. The language course for Erasmus students at the beginning of the year was particularly well organized and certainly enabled me to follow lessons and take notes immediately. After a year I was able to write essays and take oral exams without problems and acquired a great deal of technical vocabulary besides everyday knowledge words.

Final comments
Strasbourg is a lovely little town, but if you come from a big city after a while it gets a little too small, so plan to travel and visit the beautiful surroundings and the nearby Germany and Belgium. If you hate cloudy climates, don't go to Strasbourg !
