    Experiencias Erasmus Burdeos

    It compiles more than 30 testimonials from students who have completed their stay in Bordeaux, with stories published mostly between 2018 and 2024. The students agree in praising the youthful dynamism of the Place de la Victoire and the Talence and Pessac campuses, but insistently warn of the high cost of accommodation, with rooms ranging between 450 and 650 euros per month. Warnings are repeated about the difficulty of securing a place in public residences and the advisability of processing the CAF (APL) housing aid as soon as possible. The page offers a practical perspective on daily life, although it barely delves into academic validation procedures.

    Foro Erasmus Burdeos, Francia | Erasmusu.com

    A meeting point structured in annual threads covering cohorts from 2019/2020 to 2026/2027. The vast majority of messages seek flatmates to share a flat in the center or to resolve the uncertainty of not yet having assigned accommodation. Doubts also abound regarding specific faculties such as Kedge Business School or Bordeaux Montaigne and the creation of WhatsApp groups. It is valuable for gauging the real anxiety prior to departure and getting in touch with other Spaniards, although many queries remain unresolved as they are continued via private messaging.
