Course recommendations
Frustrating for me because the admin is pretty confusing but you'll probably be allocated a parent (a french student) who will help look after you and show you the ropes in the first week. Most people become good friends with their parents, others choose to do their own thing thats up to you. But either way they will be there to help, show you around etc. Ask them for how to enrol in the differnt courses because the course secretary is pretty crap. (but Mme. Harster is quite nice and will always have time for you.)

Personal spending habits
I spent less on food than at home because although I did eat out quite frequently, I was able to eat at the 'Resto U', which costs under 2 pounds for a 3-course meal! I spent more on my mobile phone than back in the UK (I think!) because of phone calls to friends and fa;ily in the UK. Housing here is 4 times cheaper than in the South of England; I spent just as much money on going out as I do back home! Strasbourg is at the heart of Europe so it would have been a shame to waste an opportunity to visit all those wonderful Benelux countries, so I spent quite a fair amount on travelling!

Personal comments
Be prepared to spend around 2000 Euros on intial expenses(travel, accommodation, registration, acquisition of various cards, etc.) Also make sure that you plan your budget before leaving for your host country or you'll soon find that you've spent your ERASMUS grants and student loan all at once!

mh...I think that MOLODOI is the best place to listen to a very good music; I have never gone to restaurants because they're very expensive; the best bar is ABAT TOIR (petite france). A lot of kebab, turque/arab/chinois/japon/...restaurants cheap and good!!!

Taking notes in a lecture type situation was very difficult for me. The instructors based everything off of their notes; there were no textbooks unless it was a literature course. They spoke very fast and said a lot over the course of the lecture.
