With an ideal living environment, it has numerous higher education establishments that welcome many students, making it the second largest student city in Brittany. Despite the recent changes due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Brest remains a lively city with many activities to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Discover the city<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"809\" src=\"https:\/\/www.isblue.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC0400-bis-bis-bis-bis_GF_1-1200x809.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2646\" srcset=\"https:\/\/isblue.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC0400-bis-bis-bis-bis_GF_1-1200x809.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/isblue.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC0400-bis-bis-bis-bis_GF_1-800x539.jpg 800w, https:\/\/isblue.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC0400-bis-bis-bis-bis_GF_1-768x517.jpg 768w, https:\/\/isblue.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC0400-bis-bis-bis-bis_GF_1-1900x1280.jpg 1900w, https:\/\/isblue.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC0400-bis-bis-bis-bis_GF_1-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/isblue.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC0400-bis-bis-bis-bis_GF_1-1536x1035.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/isblue.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC0400-bis-bis-bis-bis_GF_1-2048x1380.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Brest is a historic city located near the sea. Many water activities are proposed offered: you can rent or take lessons in kayaking, catamaran, windsurfing&#8230; you will not be bored! If you like diving, there are several diving clubs where you can take lessons and pass levels. You can also visit Oc\u00e9anopolis, which is not to be missed a must-see if you like to observe marine ecosystems and marine species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bars and restaurants<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Normally, there are many bars and restaurants in the city center where students can come to relax after a hard day\u2019s study. If you are hungry, you will find restaurants offering the famous \u201ccr\u00eapes bretonnes\u201d on every corner, but not only that. You will also find good seafood restaurants, Asian food, or fast\/junk food if you prefer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where to stay?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The city of Brest is perfect for students: rents are among the lowest of all other university cities in France. You will easily find accomodations between 150 and 450\u20ac, even less if you find a shared flat\/apartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flat-\/apartment-sharing is easily done in this city, even if you do not have contacts here. A lot of real estate agencies provide flat-\/apartment-share offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three CROUS residences (Kergoat, Lanr\u00e9dec, Bougen) were students can live. To access, you have to make a request at the CROUS (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.messervices.etudiant.gouv.fr\">CROUS site<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to note that the IUEM campus is not directly in Brest but in the neighboring city of Plouzan\u00e9. While transportation exists and it is easy to navigate between the two cities, and you might be searching for apartments closest to campus as possible, apartments in Plouzan\u00e9 and other small towns nearby are more scarce. There is therefore less to choose from and they are harder to find.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>My mind was filled with vague ideas about society, about its goods and its evils. I don&#8217;t know what sadness overcame me; I left the mast on which I was sitting; I went up the Penfeld, which flows into the port; I arrived at a bend where this port disappeared. There, seeing nothing but a peaty valley, but still hearing the confused murmur of the sea and the voice of men, I lay down on the edge of the small river.<\/p><cite>Chateaubriand<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"752\" src=\"https:\/\/www.isblue.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC0053-bis_GF-1200x752.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2671\" srcset=\"https:\/\/isblue.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC0053-bis_GF-1200x752.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/isblue.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC0053-bis_GF-800x501.jpg 800w, https:\/\/isblue.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC0053-bis_GF-768x481.jpg 768w, https:\/\/isblue.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC0053-bis_GF-1900x1191.jpg 1900w, https:\/\/isblue.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC0053-bis_GF-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/isblue.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC0053-bis_GF-1536x963.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/isblue.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC0053-bis_GF-2048x1283.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/isblue.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC0053-bis_GF-1920x1203.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sports and activities<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The SUAPS, sports department of UBO, offers a large variety of sports, and especially nautical sports such as surfing, sailing, kayaking.
