Final comments
I had a great time in Poitiers. I'm sure you will too. If you're planning on traveling make sure you sign up on time for the trips organized by the university. Participate in sports! For only 16 euros you're allowed to do as many sporting activities as you want including tennis, football, basketball,...even golf! Rent a room in the city centre and apply for CAF, a rent subsidy which pays you back almost half of the rent. Good luck!
