UPEC (Université Paris Est Créteil) give a really heart warming feeling. I started 1 year ago but I feel the support by the University and even more in a Covid period.
Good overall
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
Professors are great and always available for questions, students really help each other, and there is diversity on campus but some programs lack people of color. As for the administration, it's pretty bad.
