I’m in second year Europe Africa program. I would say that the french learning style is definitely not for the internationals. Most of the time we don’t learn anything. Teachers almost never prepare for classes. For the lecture, we take notes, we memorize 100 pages of notes for each class, and then we take the final exam. Seminar wise, they let us do 1 hour of presentation (1 group per session) and then free discussion for the rest of the class. Teachers don’t explain any concept. It’s just students sharing there own idea. Honestly have no idea why the seminars even exist.
Really disappointed overall. Doesn’t live up to its name of an “elite uni”.
plus the french administration is terrible, they doesn’t care about you, don’t ever think about switching classes, they refuse for no reason. I’ve heard multiple storys of them mocking students in front of their face when students come up to them for a question.
