Student Reviews
My experience at Université Paris 12 (UPEC)
Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars
My university was nice enough but some classes teachers were very unhelpful, they seemed to do everything in their power to give bad grades and make most students fail. Besides that, they were nice groups and extracurricular courses to join. Overall, I didn't appreciate my experience her at all, but I came to learn, so I focused as autodidact to facilitate.

Review of AEI school
Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars
The University doesn't have the best infrastructures but it is okay. The Faculty of AEI has very good teachers but the administration is a catastrophe.
