Experience in Grenoble, France by Carolina

Grenoble is an international student city, I think it's more exciting to live in Grenoble as a student. You can get to know the French culture and meet people from other countries at the same time. I like it here but I wouldn't like to stay here after finishing my studies. I love the mountains and the people here are very nice.
