Nashville was very closed to our city.It is the capital of Jazz music.
So, we enjoyed a lot and we had a good time there with friends.It was a country ambiance, very interesting.

that depends on the time of sending our files by the home university.
If that takes too much time, our files will be treated in the last and we will have the remaining residences

Personal spending habits
I spent more on traveling because it was very passionant to discover US and Chicago and other cities, with their ovelall culture. The american has the same things that the european, the differencies are that they like bigger things (bigger cars, bigger houses,too much food and drink.
Telephone was very high than france because when somedy call, he pays and you pay too.

Final comments
I liked Chicago, very nice city.You have to inform yourself if there are organized trips by the university.Sometimes, you can take some class witch can allow you to travel another city for free. For ewample , I took a class on diplomacy and they organized a trip in Chicago they paid four us 5 days on a luxuous hostel in order to participate on the "american model united nations" for students who want to be diplomate.
Furthermore, if you want to make a trip think about the labor days, because we made a trip in New York on Thanksgiving and all the shops were closed.
