Université Bordeaux Montaigne - UBM (reviews)

I studied at Université Bordeaux Montaigne as a foreign student. The professors were quite nice, especially since some of them were also from other countries. However, you do need a solid level of French to fully integrate, as French people generally expect you to keep up. The campus is not too big and is easy to navigate, making it feel quite cozy. The classes are not overcrowded, and the library is well-equipped.

In conclusion, my experience was positive overall. I only wish I had taken more chances because universities offer many opportunities — you just need to seize them!

I did an Erasmus exchange programm at Université Bordeaux-Montaigne for 5 months. I quite enjoyed the city and getting to know international students, however, I have the feeling that the most important part of the things I learned were from outside of the University. There, the courses were not really useful, with variating schedules that did not enable me to have a stable routine. Also, some teachers were late for their classes.
