Student Reviews
Lack of adaptation.
Anonymous rated 2 out of 5 stars
My experience was not exactly pleasant, and a first reason is that I can't adapt to the language, even if I receive the encouragement of teachers, it is difficult for me to learn in French and I would prefer to study in English, so my grades and success would be higher.
It was a wonderful journey
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
I got involved in maximum practical activities which was related to my course by utilizing both national and International opportunities. I got to observe the people in remote areas and be attached with them in a dipper way which had fulfilled my findings and observations related to my sociology course.
Good courses but lost in the middle of nowhere
Provided by ESN rated 4 out of 5 stars
Great courses, but located far from the city and its activities, A car is necessary if you don't want to spend more than an hour in public transports.
