If you intend on travelling around Europe get a rail pass before leaving home and if you're travelling through France get the "Carte 12-25" it can cut the cost of train tickets in half. Also, make sure you bring 8 or 10 photos (passport size) with you before you go because almost every institution you'll deal with will require one. Something that is very important, make sure to have access to two accounts, if for some reason you lose one of your debit cards or one of your banks has a computer problem you find yourself strapped for cash in a foreign country.

Nantes is a great city to visit, with rich culture and history. Great places to shop, and the people are very helpful. Ask for help with the tram system if it's your first time. We got lost for over an hour our first time.

La Maison is a bar definitely not to be missed, it's decor is like a genuine 70's home and it's a cool atmosphere. The music is good, the drinks are great. A great club is La Villa and you can dance all night long there! There are also bigger clubs a bit out side the centre, like Quai Ouest and they're not bad at all. Student soirées often take place there and they shouldn't be missed. There are several nice restaurants, I recommend La Reine Margot. The setting is cosy, the food and the presentation is great and the prices aren't too bad. I didn't experience much out life in Nantes as I had a very heavy work load that semester, but I really enjoyed myself when I had the opportunity to go out!
