Student Reviews
Where the past meets the future...
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
+ Institute of great historical value. + In recent years the university of Montpellier has bee awarded many national distinctions (e.g. I-SITE); they should continue in this way. - I would prefer that the university chose to expand its premises towards the seaside and not towards the north of the city. It would be really unique.
It Ended Too Soon.
