Student review [#63312] for Global Humanities
at Sciences Po

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.
