Housing
Type of housing: Halls of Residence
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Halls of residence
Why?
Internet, Laundry, and privacy are included to the price. I didn't have to arrange anything. Plus, you meet new people that happen to be student which is pretty cool! That means you can organise parties there! And finally, most of the halls have security systems.

Personal social experience
Personal comments
well... there is not too much of nightlife in poitiers! The clubs and the locals are trashy but the school organises open bars in clubs and it s fun because the whole school goes! In the city centre there are very good and affordable restaurants. Cafeterias are quite good in the central square.
