French people dont speak english! They know that you dont speak french either but they keep speaking in french very fast and it can be annoying some times! but this is a good way to start learning the host language

Housing

Type of housing: Halls of Residence

Arranged by: Host university

If returning, I would choose: Halls of residence

Why?

Internet, Laundry, and privacy are included to the price. I didn't have to arrange anything. Plus, you meet new people that happen to be student which is pretty cool! That means you can organise parties there! And finally, most of the halls have security systems.

well... there is not too much of nightlife in poitiers! The clubs and the locals are trashy but the school organises open bars in clubs and it s fun because the whole school goes! In the city centre there are very good and affordable restaurants. Cafeterias are quite good in the central square.
