“At my host university they have a food donation center which up to 4 times a week they offer things to students for free. They also have a center to get free things from books and
clothes to pots and pans other students have left behind. The University is right beside a hospital but also has a clinic on campus for students. There is an international students center to help with exchange needs and they offer French support classes once-twice a week if you are not taking full CIREFF (learning French courses). There is CMI, a local center for international students and they offer help/services to students from housing to health cards and even trips planed. Also ERASMUS plans fun trips to various places in France. There are clubs for those learning French/exchange students such as radio, music, theater and at the end of each semester puts on a talent show. If you are looking to make friends this is an excellent way!” – Winter 2023, Bachelor of Global and International Studies

“I do not have a strong French understanding and took CIREFF courses to obtain a B1 level certificate. Grading is on a out of 20 scale and they consider 12/20 to be good! And 14-16/20 very good.” – Winter 2023, Bachelor of Global and International Studies

“I lived in residence, it was relatively cheap and I made good friends. They give you an option to apply for residence when you get your offer letter. ” – Winter 2023, Bachelor of Global and International Studies

“For a bank account, BPN offers free accounts for a year and can be used internationally. I just went to my nearest one with my passport and all my documents I brought. For my cell phone I used Lebera and paid 10 euros so 15ish Canadian for my plan to text/call local & 5 gigs of data a month. I had data from this plan in other countries such as Germany, Netherlands and Belgium. I received my new sim card in less then a week.” – Winter 2023, Bachelor of Global and International Studies

“Rennes is beautiful! Also recommend Vannes, Rouen, fort la latte, roche fort en terre (I believe its called and is near vannes). Brest & Saint Malo is close and the first weekend of every month train tickets are 5euros for Bretange (the province Rennes is in). Mount saint michelle is also a must! The university often offers trips to many of these places or other student services (CMI or Erasmus) for cheap.” – Winter 2023, Bachelor of Global and International Studies
