Prestigious and Rigorous Bachelor of Economics
Studying the Bachelor of Economics at Sorbonne University has been a very meaningful and rewarding academic experience. One of the things that impressed me the most was the strong academic culture of the university. The program is quite challenging, but it really helps students build a deep understanding of economic theories and how they apply to real-world situations. Throughout the program, we studied important subjects like microeconomics, macroeconomics, statistics, and econometrics. At first, some courses felt demanding, especially the quantitative ones, but the professors were knowledgeable and encouraged students to think critically and ask questions. The lectures were engaging, and many of them connected economic theory with current global issues. Another great aspect of studying at Sorbonne University is the international environment. You meet students from many different countries, which makes discussions in class more interesting and gives you a broader perspective on economic policies and global markets. Studying in Paris also adds a special charm to the experience, as the city itself is full of culture, history, and opportunities. Overall, the Bachelor of Economics here is a solid choice for students who are serious about economics and willing to work hard. It provides a strong academic foundation and prepares students well for master's studies or careers in economics, finance, and public policy. It was definitely a challenging journey, but also a very valuable one
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.
humanities, and foreign languages
One of the things that proved to be a bad experience is that some of teaching staff can be very uncooperative and not very understanding of the various difficulties students face during their studies, mainly health related but not limited to it.
