Where do these figures come from?

This is an estimate: it starts from Eurostat price indices (2024) for rent, food, transport and leisure in France, adjusted for city size and checked against Numbeo (2026-09) and the European Commission's Erasmus student survey. Think of a shared flat and cooking at home. It is not a market price and does not include flights or your home university fees.

    Experiencias Erasmus Nimes

    It groups 6 testimonies of students who completed their mobility in Nîmes between 2015 and 2020. The accounts praise the exceptional Roman heritage with the Arena and the Maison Carrée, the pleasant Mediterranean climate of the south of France, and its strategic proximity by train to Montpellier and Avignon. However, they clearly warn that it is a quiet-paced city with a small university community, where nightlife is limited compared to other large French cities. Regarding costs, private rental rooms around 350 euros per month and moderate living expenses are mentioned. The texts do not detail school health insurance procedures or the university's administrative procedures.

    Foro Erasmus Nimes, Francia | Erasmusu.com

    A community meeting point with threads organized by academic years between 2018 and 2024. The messages reflect the initial search for flatmates and the creation of messaging groups to avoid arriving isolated at a destination with a small number of exchange students. It highlights warnings from students of previous cohorts about the difficulty of validating subjects in the Learning Agreement due to the rigidity of local curricula and the scarcity of compatriots in the classrooms. It provides direct contact with the daily reality of the destination, although the low overall activity of the forum highlights the small Erasmus flow hosted by the city.
