@svatu_nka spent one semester in Rouen, France at Neoma BS & she shared with us the 3 best and worst experiences about her exchange! 🇫🇷
✨ People: People all over France are nice and helpful despite what they say. Erasmus people are wonderful and there were a lot of them in Rouen, so it was an opportunity to meet people from all over the world and make lifelong friends.
✨ City: The city of Rouen is in a great location for travel. It is only an hour from Paris or other seaside areas that are connected with the history of the whole of Europe. I don’t even need to talk about the historical significance of the city itself. Joan of Arc, the patron saint of France, was burned in the city of Rouen.
✨ Vibe: The whole vibe of France is something that must be experienced. Architecture, food or parties are a big attraction for me personally and in the future. It is an unmistakable experience.
❌ Prices: France is known for its price demands. Compared to the Czech Republic, I paid extra for actually all the items on the shopping list.
❌ Strikes: The whole country is known for its strikes. During my stay, I experienced strikes against pension reform, which crippled transport and drove people into the streets. Sometimes I felt unsafe.
❌ Safety: According to my friends, I should have been careful. The scary stories upset me so much that I only went out at night with an escort. We are not used to such stories in the Czech Republic.
