Paris West University Nanterre La Défense has been a beacon of knowledge and support, where my child's growth has flourished under the guidance of dedicated staff who truly care.

Distance education in history is the best in France and supervision for research at the highest level. An excellent university that I recommend!

I did my university exchange at this university and it was a very bad experience. Already the internet has not yet arrived at this university: the registration of materials is made of paper, you have to wait for hours in a corridor until you can finally register them. The races are very mediocre, the students copy word by word what the professor is reading, the exams are by memory and there is very little reflection on the part of the students In fact, classes are canceled all the time and the only way to find out is to look in the walls of the college. And now I can not have the lawyer graduation in my home country because Nanterre is not able to send me the program of a course I saw during my exchange. AVOID THIS UNIVERSITY, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A FOREIGN STUDENT !!!!

The university is déservit and well equipped. But the administration is horrible that problems: lost files, sudden change of schedule, little information ... In short problems.

I am in the final year of law in this college and yes it is very nice with its infrastructure and its greenery. In addition, the faculty is really very accessible (well at least in the building F) and is a real pleasure to come to college every day.
