In
the meantime I have sent all my documents to Nancy. I
got the lettre
d'acceptation a
few weeks later. I even managed
the thing with the learning agreement: You just have to take a list
of all courses from last year (to be found on the blog
of the Campus Lettres et
Sciences Humaines).
Since
the courses of your actual semester(s) will not be on line at this
time, you will probably have to change a good deal of your choices
upon arrival. You
can choose whatever you want, theoretically. If you intend to claim
credit for courses attended abroad, you have to settle the particular
courses/modules with your advisor at your home university – but if
the title suits
roughly, he or she should not make any trouble. For
instance, I only want to complete
my last two
modules of Romance literature, which
will be about 15 credit points.
The
following two semesters will be counted as semesters on leave; this
means that I may claim up to 29 credit points while the particular
semesters will not be counted officially. That way I plan to avoid an
impairment of my grades, because
I think passing exams in French might not be that easy ;)
I
also have applied for a student residence of CROUS, but in the meantime I
have found a room rent privately (recommending
appartager.com).
It is in a house with eight rooms, two bathrooms and one kitchen, and
I have to pay less than the rooms I chose in a student residence would cost.
Thumbs up! :) But in France it is necessary to have an insurance for
your flat, otherwise you could not sign the contract... Also I have
learned that the French crash course I subscribed to will start on
August 31,
which means that I have to arrive earlier than expected. On
September
4
there will be a welcome day for all the international students, and
the regular
courses
will start on
September
15.
Now
I have to prepare, it is getting serious! I need a ticket for the
train, I have to organise the relocation, I have to organise all the
other formalities like assurances, etc...
Well,
see you next time!
