The building was rather old but still in good condition, though. The best was the opportunity to meet other students and the possibility to interact with all the people around.

There are few nice pubs like Cardinals, Charlie's or Hooligans...good for meeting and having a beer or two. Best event is probably the music night that is organized throughout the whole France in all cities..The whole town is crowded with music domestic and international.
