Hey everyone, I'm from India and planning to go to Audencia Business School in Nantes this fall as an exchange student. Super excited, but also trying to figure things out before I get there. My main goal for this exchange is honestly to travel as much as possible across Europe, so I’m trying to optimize everything (housing, budget, schedule, etc.) around that.

I had a few questions and would love any advice/experiences:

• What’s the academic workload like at Audencia for exchange students? Is it manageable enough to travel on weekends?
• Anyone stayed in CROUS / student residences / Studapart flats — what would you recommend?
• Things you wish you knew before coming to Nantes/Audencia?

Also open to any general advice about living in Nantes, budgeting, or making the most out of the exchange.

Would really appreciate any insights or personal experiences
Thank you for your time.
