    Experiencias Erasmus en Lille

    Collection of stories from students who rate Lille as one of the best university cities in France. They highlight its proximity to Belgium and Paris, which makes traveling very easy. Most mention that, not being a giant city like Paris, it has a very welcoming and young student atmosphere. They point out that life is cheaper than in the French capital, although it is still France, and some recommend taking advantage of the CAF (Caisse d'Allocations Familiales) financial aid for accommodation. There are positive mentions of parties and the ease of meeting other internationals.

    Foro Erasmus Lille

    Forum in Spanish with threads created over several years. The main activity consists of creating annual WhatsApp groups to connect future students before the academic year begins. Many messages can be read from students looking for flatmates, opinions on the different university residences, and people interested in doing language tandems and exchanges to improve their French. It is ideal for contacting other Spaniards going to the same university.
