For all the tourists: usually 50% discount for students to buy museum tickets, plus check the schedule: free access on particular days to everyone.
For students under 24 or 25: buy a special card => significant discounts for railway tickets.

I knew it, but you should also know that it's not Paris at all! It's 30 kms from Paris, which can be 1,5 hour without a car. So if you can, bring your car!
And it's always raining!!! Brrrrrg.... :-( So don't forget your umbrella!
But the campus is really nice and huge with a lake and so many sporting facilities. And it's fun!

- Don't miss the Thursday parties!
- To get to Paris, the easiest way without a car is to hitch-hike at the entrance of the campus.

Campus is relatively isolated, and badly equipped, but night life and social contacts with students from all around the world is winner

Don't spend your weekends on campus. Travel around! France is a very nice country.
If you want to know Paris better, you might want to rent a room in the capital. Going to & away from campus is a hassle if you don't have a car. I often hitchhicked from campus to Paris. But going back takes about 45min-1h with public transports if you know the train schedules!!!
But campus life is great. You get to meet a lot of people!
