Accommodations overview over the residences we were living in:
Register on MoveOn and input the data. In the end, a pdf file is generated. Send it to the indicated mail address. You should get an Email with a room offer around December, with the request to fill out the forms and to present a housing insurance (around 20€).
TIP: sometimes the family’s insurance covers such a housing insurance in a student dorm, so check!
Shortly after moving in, you’ll get an email with your WIFI login data (check your spam folder!). You don’t need to register at the city hall, this is done for you automatically. The laundry machines costs extra (usually paid by card).
Rent can be paid by bank transfer or debit/credit card (in person at the office), usually at the beginning of the month. The deposit is one month’s rent
Apply for CAF (housing money to reimburse parts of the rent in France, usually every student is eligible!) Therefore, create an account. Submit the requested documents:
send these documents to transmettreundocument.caf67@info-caf.fr
Contact information of the office: here (keep your N° personnel ready for identification) → as their English is poor, its best to ask a French speaking friend to help you. However, you need to be present as well, as they are asking your friend if you give them permission to deal with your issue. Be prepared to have lots of trouble and having to run after them for months.
Private website (but also housing agencies): “leboncoin.fr”, use the key words “studio” or “logement”

Unfortunately, didn’t offer any language courses although it is indicated in the study overview!
You can practice German, French and Spanish via
Relais – Relais: Centres de Ressources de Langues Université de Strasbourg
In the end of the semester, there was (only) an ungraded German course (we are not sure whether this still exists).
Most of the written exams were Open Question exams, where you had to interpret graphs taken from publications. Only ‘Drug Delivery’ was a True/False Question exam (100 True/False Questions). Other courses were evaluated orally (via presentation of a topic or of a publication). Additionally, we had to write and submit reports.
