Côte d'Azur University — Attraction in Nice

Welcome to a learning experience worthy of last century. You'll start by visiting a building straight out of a horror movie. Facilities seem not to have been properly taken care of for years with floors missing tiles, ceilings missing panels, classrooms missing desks and chairs. You'll be in charge of fetching the mobiliary from other rooms if you wish to sit in the uncomfortable-as-hell chairs. If you're looking to experience the temperature of the surface of the sun or what's like to study in a sauna, I recommend you come in summer as no room has air conditioner... in possibly the hottest area of France... Professors are okay, do not expect a magistral class of any outstanding teaching method. Technology-wise they're stuck in last century and completely unable to adapt to any sort of changing situation. Administration meets the cliché image you can have of any French aspect of administration. Expect no guidance, no answers, no clear answers if you happen to be blessed with an answer whatsoever, no information. In my opinion this place should be closed for at least a year while they renovate the building, the staff, and their...

I arrived here for an Erasmus exchange. It was the worst decission of my life. The internal administration is a complete shame and when you can't manage the situation teachers blame YOU! I was a brilliant student in my host university and now I'm not going to be able to pass most of the courses I chose. The EU probably is going to make me get back the money from the Erasmus scholarship and I'm going to do a extra year in home (that I did not need to do at first). Thanks to the staff of this school, I'm forcing my mother to spend a lot of money she has been saving for years if they retire me the scholarship. And no, there is no person you can complain to.

The good piece of news is that I've talked with my coordinators in my host university and they told me they're going to break the exchange with this s**y facylty.

If you thinking on coming here to study, I recommend you not to do it. They're...

Locaux vétustes, et administration qui vous fait tourner en bourrique. Je ne peux pas me prononcer sur l'ensemble des cours et professeurs, ça dépend des filières, et il y a certainement de quoi passer de bons moments et d'avoir de bons cours dans cette faculté, mais l’organisation générale est complètement à la masse; c'est la première fois que je vois ça. Rien n'est correctement affiché, il faut toujours compter sur les réseaux sociaux pour s'informer car bien souvent ni le secrétariat ni le site internet ne vous seront d'une quelconque aide. C'est la galère pour se repérer en période d'exams, un casse tête pour les oraux, et je ne vous raconte pas le parcours du combattant lorsque vous devez affronter l'administration pour faire corriger une note. Dans mon parcours, certains enseignants étaient très compétents, mais d'autres manquaient de sérieux ou de préparation dans leur cours. Venant d'une autre faculté, c'est ça qui m'a marqué: la qualité des cours très inégale, et l'organisation générale (administration, mais aussi coordination des cours et rapport aux étudiants) complètement pétée.

Bref, ca fait très fac de seconde zone, et si vous n'habitez pas Nice je ne vois aucune raison...
