I wish I had known...
bring a car, if you can! it makes traveling around much easier. Bretangne's cost line is definitely worth it - especially during the weekends and during holidays you might want to leave the city - Rennes is empty then; French students often return to their home towns.

I would advise people to know the basics of the language and prior knowledge of the food. Because language will be a barrier for you to interact with the local people.

The irish bar wasn't the best as there wasn't really an irish atmosphere in it. Found alot of the French bars and restaurants very good and very irish-friendly. The nightclubs were very good aswell
