Université des Sciences Humaines (Strasbourg II)

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.)

... not enough time to mention :P

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!

I wish I had done more research about accomodation and a few other things (ie banks,telephone companies etc.)

good experience
