The aim of this blog is for students in Montpellier to discuss their experiences. For this week I would like you to post a comment about what, if anything, has surprised you about being a student in Montpellier. You are free to say whatever you want (provided you have the authorisation of those involved, and the language is respectful!!). You can also comment on what others say.....
Happy blogging! Victoria
When I first came to Montpellier I was really surprised that there are so many people from all over the world living here. I knew that Montpellier was a city full of students, but I didn't expect it to be such a multicultural city as well :)

If you have questions, feel free to ask me!!
