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!!!

Personal comments
the rooms are very small, but as i am not in my room very often (quite a lot to see here), i don't really mind. all in all quite good although living together with the other people is sometimes quite annoying (in terms of cleanliness of toilets and showers).
