Anyone know Sciences Po, Bordeaux?

Wow! At last I have all my offers:

Cardiff/Bordeaux Sciences Po Joint Diplôme BBC
Edinburgh Politics and French Rejected
Leeds Politics and French BBC
Uni of Manchester European Studies and French ABB
St Andrews International Relations and French AAA
Stirling International Politics and French CCC

I've decided to accept Cardiff as my first choice, I'm very pleased as I felt I'd screwed up the interview. Although I know a fair bit about life at Cardiff, I've no idea about Sciences Po. All I know is that its France's second Politics uni after Sciences Po, Paris, that its well respected and demands the highest standards.

Has anyone been to/studied there? And does anyone know anything more? Has anyone else been offered a place this year (the code is L241)?
Oh, and should I put an insurance? Which (I liked Manchester)?

I'm very happy now, must start some revision : )

Yes I am sure Sience Po Bordeaux (more commonly called IEP or Institut d'Etudes Politiques) is excellent. Don't know anything other thant that, but small school and likely far more demanding than Cardiff, and in a more fun town. Check out any reviews at www.istudy.com. Look at the other IEP. Each IEP has a different speciality though... don't know what Bordeaux's is.

Cheers! I had seen the iStudy website, and it is useful. IEP Bordeaux is indeed very prestigious, and is highly regarded for getting students into EUs civil service (it even has a vocational course for wannabee civil servants in the final year). I'm really excited, and know I've had a big door opened for me. Anyone else with any other advice please let me know.
