Thoughts
I love Southern University at New Orleans. It's a proud campus with a deep tradition in the city. The faculty is amazing, and the students are awesome as well. Being a part of a storied Southern system is amazing in itself, and I can't wait for more people to explore it.
Sorbonne 2.0
Brand new campus near nation which makes it very accessible. Sorbonne Nouvelle is known for its very complex red tape. Teachers are incredibly nice and they adapt their lessons to the news
Licence information-communication
The University is pretty new, fresh building, but a bit small (The library is always full).The classes can be both interesting or very useless. Some professors are clearly not qualified to teach, some of them do not know how to engage with students and actually teach them something. The students at this university are pretty cool, from all kinds of places, but you won't necessarily engage with a lot fo them as it is a big city and there aren't much social places on campus.
