Exchange programme to Paul Valéry University, Montpellier III in Montpellier

I am a sophomore student in the University of Paris. Our school had an exchange programme with Paul Valery University in Montpellier. I applied for the programme and got shortlisted to go to Montpellier. The first step was to get my air ticket. The school was not going to sort our expenses including the ticket, we were only informed on the date and the time to purchase a ticket. I got an air ticket from EASYJET. They had ticket discounts as advised by the school.The school had suggested the students to purchase the ticket from them. We were to stay in Montpellier for two months. On arrival in the city we noted the city was not so large but was full of activities and festivals. The school had so many students. Montpellier has a large public library that came in handy when studying. After the time in Montpellier, we got a ticket back home by the same airline.
