    Experiencias Erasmus en Nantes

    Students' accounts agree that Nantes is a highly underrated city and, often, a great surprise for those who choose it almost by process of elimination. They warn that it is not as famous as other French options, but it has an incredible young atmosphere and an endless cultural agenda (concerts, exhibitions). Economically, they highlight that the cost of living is more affordable than in Paris, and that the public transport network is very extensive, making it easier not to have to live strictly in the center. They define it as clean, quiet but very festive at night.

    Foro Erasmus Nantes

    A practical forum where students from different disciplines meet. The most frequent doubts revolve around student residences (which is the best option for exchange students) and the urgent search for flatmates to share a private apartment near specific campuses, such as L'École de Design. There are also recurring threads to create the typical WhatsApp or Telegram group for the cohort and to resolve administrative doubts regarding registration.
