Université Montesquieu - Bordeaux IV

In my opinion it is an experience that should be advisable for any student.

There are several residences on campus, but in general all of them are old, with 9m2/room, and one kind of kitchen and toilet per floor. It is perfect for a very cheap stay but just one year: "Villages" give you the opportunity to develop a good social life, but you can not forget than the night and cultural life is in central town. People living there is very nice (in general) and various. Cosmopolite ambient. At first is a bit depressive, but after one month it will change. You will be surprised!

For the night: "Au chat qui pêche"(Cours de la Marne); "La Lune dans le Caniveau" (Capucins) "Café des menuts" (St. Michel) Le Plana (Victoire). Do not go to "quais", close to the river: Pretty expensive, and so snob ambient in most of them. During the afternoon, all the Cafés in Place du Parlement ("Café Reno", "La Comtesse"). Go to dinner during the spring and summer to Quartier de St. Pierre. You have to visit places like Saint Émilion, not very far of Bordeaux, Saint Jean de Luz, and Sarlat, at three hours by train. Do not forget that the region has very good beaches.

It was great; not luxuous but i had all i needed to be confortable. All my friends were near, the university and the library 2 minutes away; the tram station 1 minute away. Services in the campus were very good: laundry, internet, tv, cofee, gym. The campus staff also great, they were always their to help you solve any problem.
