HOUSING

Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? it's easy to find an appropriate appartment at a reasonable price. rooms on campus are pretty cheap, but really small, showers and toilets are shared and pretty disgusting, so are the kitchens.

Personal recommendation:
you have to accept the different teaching methods in france, but you get used to them quite easily. more school-like! FINAL COMMENTS
The UBO is quite a nice university to study at. If you want to come to Brest you should not be addicted to sun because you won't see much of it! Brest itself is not a nice city (apart from the Port de Plaisance), but if you take the chance to see much of the surroundings you will enjoy it! And it's very useful to come here by car!!!
