The center Sorbonne and Pantheon are near the RER B station Luxembourg. You can take the RER B to Chatelet and change to metro 14, then get off at Olympiades for the center Tolbiac.
Even though you might have classes in different places every day, most of your first semester classes will be scheduled at the Maison des Sciences Economiques. The building is newly renovated, has an integrated library and is reserved for selected Master students in economics and researchers.
The relevant Metro stops for the MSE are Campo Formio, Place d'Italie or Les Gobelins.
Many students take bikes as a means of transport. With a subscription (1 day or 7 days or 1 year) you can rent a bike at a bike station (almost on every block, mobile applications available) and give it back at another bike station. The first 30 minutes are free, and then you pay for every 30 minutes. You can find all bike stations and prices on this website : https://www.velib-metropole.fr/
The most obvious solution to get to class is to take the metro. The year pass is available for 333,90 euros. You can find all the information under http://www.imagine-r.com/
Arriving in Paris

From CDG the easiest and fastest is to take the RER B. It takes you to Chatelet, one of the biggest public transport hubs and the most central in Paris, within one hour. From there you can access any metro station within 30 Minutes.
If you get to Orly, there are several options. You can either take the Orly Bus or the transfer to Antony by train. In Antony you can get on the RER B aswell. If you are patient for a cheaper and longer trip, you can also take the Tram. It will take you to Villejuif - Louis Aragon, where you can take Metro 7 directly.
