La havana for spanish atmosphere and salsa dancing, time for monday student nights, bar blue for really cheap beers on thursday and jonglers (gunwharf) for *slightly* more sophisticated music/location.... and registry and festing pubs for pool, quizzes and football games

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
If I come back, I will chose the same kind of accommodation because it is the most practical. My actual roommates are not French but Spanish, therefore it is a insightful experience.

My University does not propose accommodations so you have to find it yourself.
