Hugo Abdelhadi rated 4 out of 5 stars
I know my university is not the largest of the country but offers us a large variety of courses which are very complete. We had the chance to study in a foreign university for one semester.
University of Burgundy review
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
Basically, the Burgundy University is overall satisfying, with a real life on the campus and a lot of activities and services. The teachers are also very satisfying, but the buildings are however quite old and poorly maintained. Regardin the administrative aspect, it can be a bit messy.
