Personal comments
You need to have a RIB for housing (security deposit). Without that RIB (when you open a french bank account), everything is harder and you need to show cash upfront.

Personal comments
I am usnure jow safe the campus is at night. The university campus is approximately 40 minutes away from the city centre by bus and I would rather live nearer to the city centre and commute to university each day for lectures.

Personal recommendation
It's a good university, but it's not too hard. You can do lots of things besides, so take advantage of this: the offers range from cultural to sports activities. It's a university on a campus, so there are loads of students around. The atmosphere is great!

If you go to Bordeaux, take a car with you. It's a lot more practical and you are not dependent on bus/train (which are on strike from time to time). Plus you can do weekend trips to the sea or to the mountains!!
If you arrive and look for an apartment in town, walk around the streets and look for signs on the buildings saying "A louer". Call the number on the sign and ask for having a look at it. It's a lot cheaper to do it that way. A district where lots of students live is the "Victoire"
