Best places to go? 

 

 

Spanish students love Italy (party, study level is usually lower than their own universities, similar culture etc), I want to go to Paris but my french is very basic, how is the level of french universities?? what about campus life there, relaxed? serious?

I'm not the best person for advice but I think it should depend on your major? I went to a small, southern Italian village for one semester. The food is to die for. There are stairs everywhere and you have to mostly walk from place to place. I'm a design/art major and I had some nice opportunities there. I have no idea how it would compare to somewhere else in Italy, though.

 

I also went to Copenhagen for another semester. It was nice, I don't have any complaints I can recall. Much more intensive than Italy.

I went on exchange in IEP Paris last year, they have French and English cursus and you can mix both, I doubt other universities gave you that option. It'll also depend on what elective you're trying to take.

I study marketing, Italy is the most recommended here, but I feel like I will not study much it I go there xd

You might find better advice elsewhere, but I felt that going to Italy was mostly for the ambiance. Though if your school or superiors are reccommending it more than your peers, it might be a different case? Hope you enjoy wherever you go; esn is great.

There is no campus life if you're referring to what they have in the USA.. People don't necessarily live at school/around school, actually the school buildings are scattered around the 6th and 7th arrondissements. It's like an in town campus, similar to what I have in Montréal so I wouldn't be able to compare both. The workload was a lot for me since all my classes were political science classes and their system have a lot of exams, papers and oral presentations (too many if you ask me). For each class I had 2-3 exams, one or two papers and one oral, I had a total of five classes. If you don't know French that well ask for a joint cursus, then you can mesure your level when you get there, you can always switch to full English or full French before the first week. The majority of exchange students are Erasmus so they organize various trips so that's pretty nice, life was expensive cause I had Canadian dollars :( but if you have euros it shouldn't be too much (but I'll admit that food was pretty expensive, housing too, but public transportation is cool once you get the student card discount)

Thank you.

 

Yeah, my uni required me to take 5 to 6 classes :( to have 4 credited here... It was a scam since the workload is bigger.(truthfully, my uni knew but they wouldn't credit more than that...)

But really, it all depends on what you're studying, try to find various uni accordingly and from there you can choose.
