Université Paris Nanterre (reviews)

I spent in total 5 years at this university. It was a great overall experience, despite a few downsides.
First, the quality of the campus, paired with the diversity of programmes offered there provides a dynamic environment.
Nonetheless, the administration of the university, and the lack of guidance, can lead to confusion and unclear situations. It takes a few months at least to fully comprehend how the university is organized and whom to address when facing difficulties.
Regarding the courses, some can be very interesting and well delivered, while others can be more confusing and less attractive, depending on the professor.

I hated my time as an exchange student here. Accessing the portal for all the emails is difficult enough. Other than in the fete courses they don’t really care about exchange students. Teachers never respond to emails, students are closed off and don’t interact with Erasmus students. The teachers talk too fast and it’s difficult to integrate yourself. I wish I could leave sooner.

Nanterre’s campus is the biggest I’ve ever been, which makes it easier to socialize with strangers. It offers a lot of cursus options; whether you want to study in the science domain or arts and languages, you have a big variety of choice. On the other hand, the administration system has to be reviewed; it is very confusing.

More visits to know more about what we learn, more possibilities of learning new stuff, the choice of the historic period we want to learn about. At least more person who is professional in this period we can explain to us l.
