Erasmus Experience in Paris, France by Carmela

Why did you choose to go to Paris, France?

Like every person in the world, I lived with the dream of the city of love and art and litterature. I wanted to climb the stairs of the Sacré coeur, to run into the Louvre to go beyond the record of time spent inside, i wanted to learn French and its melody.
Furthermore, the wonderful, old Sorbonne University and the memories of great people that have studied in. A lot of expectations of an old nous more existing Paris.

How long is the scholarship? How much money do you receive to help you with living costs?

I will spend 6 months in Paris, I received 400 € per month. Paris is too expensive so this money isn't enough.

Would you recommend the city and the University of Paris to other students?

Yes, but I reccomend to have no great expectations about easy relationship with parisien people. I'm sorry to say that they have as much as us the memory of the great wonderful Paris of the beginning of 20th century so they don't speak easily with the "others".
At least for thé beginning you have to expect solitude in Paris.
And take the velib, the buildings of Paris are unbelievible.

What is the food like?

It's good. In particolar desserts are fantastic.
