Nancy is a beautiful city that is well worth a visit. The school is not far from the city centre, so you will quickly discover its wealth of opportunities. Here are several reasons why you will love Nancy.
A dynamic city
There are around 40,000 students in Nancy. As a result, there are many facilities and activities dedicated to students all around the city. Nancy is a place where people are easy-going, warm and enthusiastic. You will find all the information you need at the tourist office, which is located in Place Stanislas, or by visiting its website: www.nancy-tourisme.fr.
Lifestyle at Mines Nancy
In September 2012, Mines Nancy moved to the ARTEM Campus, an alliance between Mines Nancy (Graduate School of Engineering), ICN Business School (School of Management) and Nancy School of Arts and Design. The very dynamic social life at Mines Nancy is part of the school’s identity. If you want to take part in Mines Nancy’s campus life, you can contact the Students’ Bureau (BDE). The BDE supervises many student societies, including the BDA and the BDS. With more than 60 different societies, the BDE aims to make student life meaningful and exciting. You can join the BDA and show your talent: music, theatre, singing, etc. If your interest lies in sport, feel free to join the BDS: rugby, sailing, climbing, badminton, etc. You can enter a team and participate in competitions and tournaments (such as the Cartel des Mines).
Culture
The artistic movement Art Nouveau flourished in Nancy and across Europe from the late 19th century, and its influence is particularly visible in Nancy’s architecture. Nowadays, the culture on offer is still very rich and varied. You will have many opportunities to visit museums, explore tourist trails and attend cultural exhibitions and events. Visiting these places is usually affordable and students are eligible for discounted rates.
Sport
There are plenty of sports on offer in Nancy. The city has about 250 sports clubs and many sports facilities (swimming pools, gymnasiums, weights rooms…). The easiest way to practise a sport is to become a member of SUAPS (the local association dedicated to students).
