Personal comments
it was fun. it was really easy to get contact to many other exchange students (200 live in the student house). the room was equipped with nice furniture. you had to share the kitchen and the showers with 13 people, but you get used to this really quickly!

Overall
Tous les cours étaient en visio du au covid mais le tout s'est très bien passé, éducation basée sur des projets de groupes ou individuels qui permettent une réflexion plus poussée de la théorie apprise. Très bons professeurs!
