HOUSING

Business Studies, Erasmus
Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: dormitory
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? that way you might have more contact to french people and not only to other erasmus students
Personal comments:
it was a little bit too expensive(which was not so bad as every student gets financial aid for living in france) and not very safe(burglars) nor clean (insects and mice), but all in all acceptable.

Travel
Overall
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Activities, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment
Nightlife: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal comments:
For students and the cheapest alcohol then Bar Celestain, Red Zone, Cubanitos (happy hour) and Electros are quite good. Restaurant Jaquevert has an excellent set menu and Tapalocas is fantastic for great cheap booze, gorgeous Tapas or both.

FINAL COMMENTS

Administration is a real chore but if you spend a couple of days a week in the first fortnight getting it done you will done. Dont open a bank account with Credit Lyonnais, Caisse D'Epargne are a good option.
