Student life in Montpellier and its campuses

With 17 sites, spread over various campuses, the University of Montpellier welcomes almost 51,000 students every year. Although the university has buildings scattered throughout the town and surrounding area, many of them are in the north, in the Saint-Éloi district. This area is relatively central and also has excellent transport links, plus all the services your need for student life. In addition, there's plenty on offer in the town too:

• tram and bus lines, some of which are free of charge. All lines will be free by 2024
• cultural venues, including many museums, half of which are also free of charge
• shuttle buses to and from the nightclubs on the beach road outside the town
• more than 230 kilometres of cycle lanes in the metropolitan area, and the ability to borrow bikes throughout the city
• digital apps and services designed by Montpellier and its metropolitan area for students

And the universities themselves of course, right near the city centre and the shops, cinemas, bars and restaurants that Montpellier is known for.
