whether you like your time at SciencesPo or not will most likely correlate with how much your enjoy the “french experience”.
afterall, SciencesPo is just the best of the best — or the worst of the worst, depending on who you ask.
– if you are at a regional campus, be prepared for the complete and utter disregard of the central admin. we faced issues of sexual, racial and gender based violence, all of which were brushed under the rug.
– the french elite make up a large majority of the domestic students, and they tend look down on international students, despite us categorically doing much better than them.
– the regional campus fairytale they sell is a lie.
that being said:
– while the classes may be tedious at times, but they are interesting — and they are very relevant to our fields of study.
– it is not always that you will find yourself surrounded with students of such caliber within your field.
