École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Paris-La Villette - ENSAPLV (reviews)

That architecture school includes every single basis of an architect like building, theory, materials, geometry and specializes in urbanism. The project course is important, and takes a lot of time. Some students make models at night shift but few of them are late. It takes 6 years if you want to found your architecture company in France and maybe elsewhere in Europe. Unfortunately, the projects professors seem to be strict, careless and only help by giving architects’ references and books and most courses are in French. Hence it might be recommended if you seek advice from professors.

Concerning the students’ life, it is very important that we help eachother like a community. We make nightlife dancing events, have a integration weekend. Associations ruled by students help you the most and if you are part of one of them, it will value yourselves when seeking jobs. Students there are capable of anything like cooking or playing music. There are also structure building associations that build useful structures in school. Finally, we have a material shop which is cheaper than recognized shops on streets.

We have facilities that help you produce portfolios like a workbench and a numerical center.

Hence, concerning the mentality of teaching, it might be recommended to future students. Concerning the student life, it is very recommended and most events are free. For English speaking courses, I don’t know but there are Exchange students from Europe who study at postgraduate courses.
