Université de Haute Alsace (UHA)

The Shamrock bar was a common meeting-up place for Erasmus students and has a good party atmosphere at night. Zen is also quite cool, being a few tram stops away from the campus. Travel opportunities are very good in Mulhouse - you can get to Basel in 20 minutes with the TER and there are quick links to Strasbourg, Besancon and also Paris. This can prove useful on Sundays when hardly anything happens in Mulhouse itself!

Some other Erasmus students and I used to take a late train on a Saturday nite to Basel, Switzerland which was a 30 minute train ride away. We would go to the cool pubs and clubs there and take the first train back on Sunday morning. As for Mulhouse, there was a couple of nice cafes and bars but the atmosphere was just no good. One good point - the restauants are quite nice in Mulhouse.

The cinema 'Kinopolis' is good but going out in Mulhouse at night is not for the faint hearted. The atmosphere in the town is very hostile and the clear tensions between the 'white' and 'non-white' communities are at a head on weekend nights.

O'bryans!
