As a student for 7 years in Angers, it's nice to live there. I feel safe everywhere, people are friendly.
I recommend doing tours and museums like the castle of Angers, the museum of fine arts..., but also to have fun going to the restaurant (Joe carpa, BBQ Party, the Dix Septième). And finally out, going to the theater, cinema, night clubs or in many bars ( I recommend the Barock for its cocktails ). This town looks like Nantes but smaller.
