Recommandations de cours

for sociology, little is available in english.. but a bit more every year. but you can pick up classes in all universities around town. i ended up studying economics, international relations and diplomacy (EXCELLENT CLASSES AND EXPERIENCES AT FDV), popular culture, protection of environment, tourism, and any classes, but only with books and meeting teachers now and then. the quality is different for each classes and faculties... you wont meet any local student in economic faculty, but in social sciences you will make dozens of friends.

Commentaire personnel

More classes in English in certain faculties... I actually did not study what I was supposed to, but ended up studying a lot of fascinating things, I had a speech in front of foreign affaor minister at the national parliament... I now have solid backgrounds in different fields, I dont regret anything. My home university is happy with it.

People speak English, especially students, and you wont have any problem. Ive had an intensive 4week language class in the beginning, just enough to get used to it... Slovenian is hard for most foreign students. I understand what people talk about most of the time, understand peoples' interactions, but thats it. Its sometimes not easy when you are alone with 10 local students (but you cant complain about that!). but overall, they are happy to adress you in English, and many also speak German, Italian, French, Spanish, Dutch, Croatian etc... and they will be happy to practice your language. I was able to hitch hike around, and make basic communications in German, Slovene, English, Latin, Whateverian...

Si j'avais su

that I would give up learning Slovene so fast. I would be ready to come back here and fully learn it tho, provided i have time for it.

They make it very easy and convenient for foreign students. It is one of the world's best welcome organization. They will make you go out, travel, meet people, discover things, until you do it yourself.

Everybody keeps asking you "Why Slovenia??" Well, why not?! Theres absolutely nothing wrong with it. Its a very small country, which brings many advantages. To me, it was just an average European country, nothing special to be afraid of, many things to discover, safe, very nice people, although they can sometimes explain to you for 40 minutes in a club that they are not part of the balkans, that theyre more like Germans or Italians... Whatever, just go and find out by yourself. the education level is high, student facilities are excellent, one of the best place to travel from... I even went to Sicily for a week for free thanks to the University.

Dépenses habituelles

Fantastic system of coupons to go and eat 3 course meals in maxican restaurants for 3€, macdonalds for 1.5€, chinese for 2€... etc, with 100 restaurants to choose from. food in supermarket is same price as western europe. Its OK, as a cooking Frenchman I didnt suffer as I did in England or Norway. Mobile phones is slightly cheaper. Housing is same price as Western Europe for the same quality, but I settled with less and was happy with it. Nightlife is way cheaper, which makes you drink 10 vodkas in a club instead of 3 beers in your home country. so the money spent is the same but its more fun. I travelled a lot around (many countries very near!), but it was rather cheap though. and Hitch Hiking is a true alternative, Ive used it to go back to France, to go to some croatian islands, to visit places in Slovenia, go and have a pizza in Italy... Overall, its slighlty cheaper than France, but you are very tempted to spend more. You wont have any big financial trouble though.

Commentaire personnel

I went every now and then getting Euros from an Italian bank (and to compare slovene and italian pizzas), and then exchange them in Slovenia. costs less. no financial surprise. Its almost useless working in Slovenia: very hard to find if you dont speak slovene, and the money is not worth it. its better to work a little in the summer before. I did earn a little money tho, from TV appearances to some french translations... its more for fun and experience. But overall, I didnt manage to spend all the money I had saved for this year. Ill try and spend it very hard next year.

Logement

Type de logement: different colocations through the year

Organisé par: Indépenant - choix personnel

Si j'y retournais je choisirais: colocation again...

Pourquoi?

It is the best independent way to choose who ull live with, and have your own place our of student craze.

Commentaire personnel

the university provides student doms (room sharing) for cheap, for about half students. they try and help the others find something. they wont let you down in a hotel for long. Ive had good and bad housing experiences, Ive lived in 4 different places in a year. But I know the city perfectly, great souvenirs, always possible to have some extra people crashing in the country without notice. Ive had some really odd flatmates, but they taught me rather OK slovenian

Commentaire personnel

I met hundreads of people in a year, Erasmus students and Slovene students, have been invited to countless parties, travelled to budapest, sicily, san marino, venise, trieste, vienna, zagreb, croatian coast, all around slovenia... Hitch hiking in Slovenia is a must: easy safe and fast. The city is burgeonning, many new places open every year, and there is for every taste: from Metelkova, the alternate free neighbourhood, to posh-expensive-showing-off Global. Just try and visit as much as u can, and see what you like. Parties can be wild anywhere. Student doms on tuesdays, drinking WeekEnds with the international student office, party in the park... you name it.
