Personal comments
These comments apply to Village 1 at Bordeaux university. I think the accommodation there will probably have improved since I left. Bu tat the time I arrived there was no laundry in my halls of residence. This was solved by the time I left but was a big dissappointment to me in my time there. The rooms are pretty small and have a bed, a desk and a chair. Bathrooms are shared between a floor and kitchens are scarce and when they do exist they are badly equipped. I still had an excellent time though and there is a campus restaurant/cafe right next to the halls.
