Université de la Méditerranée Aix-Marseille II

Clubs are open late in France meaning you don't need to go out too early like you do in the UK. Meeting at around midnight before hitting the nightlife was common. This way it's possible to have a decent meal, relax (even have a little snooze in preparation!) and not be in a rush. There were also plenty of other events with a student cinema on campus and so many things to go and see in the region I really feel as if I made the most of it.

Pub Solferino for televised sport and partying, O'Shannons, the Manoir are both good bars, IPN and anywhere on the rue de la verrerie for clubbing. Orienté lovely chilled out oriental tea salon, must see any cafés on Cours Mirabeau, market in Place Richelme, Sainte-Victoire mountaine, Les Agapes provencal restaurant... the whole place really.

There are nice pubs and lots of cafe'. the town is beautiful and offers quite a lot. However, unless you have lots of money, it is very difficult to enjoy all the nice bars, resturants, nightclubs etc. There is on Cinema (I think it was calles Mazarin) where they showed films in original language with French subtiteles. This is definitely a place to go! To get to the beach (usually crowded)you have to travel a bit though. The Provence is lovely. Eveywhere you go it smells of lavender
