    "Angers is a middle-sized town where everything is nearby. It’s calm and pleasant to live in. There is no stress or delinquency. This is a student town with a lot of parks like the Jardin des Plantes. It’s great to rest and breathe there when you are a student. I love sport and there is much to do here in Angers!"

    "Life in Angers was wonderful. We had great moments together. The classes are very varied, the teachers are very nice: it’s the ideal place to learn French. The BEC offers plenty of options to meet French people and the university events are very numerous. Personally, I played football with the university team and that was great!"

    "Angers. At one point it was a foreign city, but now I feel as if I am at home. I have a French house with a French family and I also have friends that come from all over the world. It gave me the opportunity to not only learn the French language and culture, but also to discover many other cultures."
