Life on the campus
The Campus is interesting for the new students who discover the city because there is a possibility to meet new people (there are 23 500 students in this campus) and to work in the better possible conditions. For example, the workspaces that we can find are the university library (BU) or the student’s house.

We can also have a rest or work outside in the spaces-green with friends.
Moreover, the Atheneum is a place loved by students because it is entertainment’s place, like concerts, shows, exhibitions... In it, we can too buy a sandwich or drink a beer with some friends, in a friendly atmosphere.

Students see the campus as a little town because everything is possible : we can eat in university canteens often open and be connected at the Internet everywhere on the campus (even if some places have a net a bit disturbed and irregular). In this campus we are lucky, we have our classrooms and our amphitheaters in the same building that allows us to not be worried about changes of buildings every time.
Furthermore, given the fact that they spend most part of they free time reading books, many students see university library as a second home. I think it’s revealing about students’ feelings of their campus, despite of difficulties and tiredness.
To recap we feel comfortable in this new life because we have the impression of being finally free. We have the possibility to do what we want without constraint, and the campus is a perfect home.
