Sciences Po (reviews)

I’m an exchange student in the Reims campus in the academic year of 2023-2024. I think this campus is good for an exchange experience because there are a lot of exchange students and even the french people who come to the grad school don’t live in Reims, so basically everyone on the campus is new to the city and wants to form a bond.
In terms of academic experience, I think Sciences Po system is really controlling. Their attendance policy is really strict and all the classes have an assignment for the week, either a presentation or an evaluation, which makes the semester exhausting since the beginning.
Also, I didn’t like the fact that in some classes there are only presentations made by students and no later explanation by the professor. I don’t like this method because I think the students only focus on preparing their presentation and we don’t really pay attention to the presentation of the other classmates as much as we would pay as if the professor was presenting.
To summarize, I still love some of my classes, but I had higher expectations about Sciences Po’s method, since it’s the best political sciences university in Europe, which made me a little disappointed.

Sciences Po, is a very prestigious institution delivers a top-notch education with exceptional academic excellence and a focus on social sciences. The faculty is made up of accomplished scholars who provide us with a the skill sets to prosper. The campus is historic and has excellent modern facilities. The student life at Sciences Po is vibrant, with numerous clubs and activities bringing the sense of community. The diverse student body contributes to a global perspective. I recommend sciences Po

Sciences Po emphases on interdisciplinary education and this is what I enjoyed about the institution. The curriculum is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of political science, international relations, law, economics, and other social sciences. This multidisciplinary approach equipped me with a well-rounded perspective, thus preparing me to address complex global challenges.

I am currently in my 3rd year of my Bachelor’s degree at Sciences Po. After some reflection, I believe Sciences Po was a great school for me personally. Before going, I was not sure what exact career path I should take, but I knew it had to be social Sciences, humanities, politics or something similar to those disciplines. Through the curriculum and our obligatory Civic project, I found out that I actually wanted to do law. This was not an issue as Sciences Po has a law school to which all bachelor students can continue after they finish their undergraduate degree. But my friends for example chose to do economics, literature or art and we were all accomodated and able to pursue these different disciplines, which I think is quite rare. Also, Sciences Po encourages you to go abroad and also experience different cultures and countries, which I think is really enriching. As part of the third year students have to pick a university abroad (or internship) to round out their college experience. The school is great if you need financial aid, for those who are European Union citizens and from low income families, it is likely that not only will your tuition fees be 0 but you will also get a scholarship from the school automatically. Overall, the campus (Reims for me) was beautiful, the school helps you develop your career path and supports you. I am very happy with what it gave me amd would not switch if I had the chance.
