The city is small simple, nice people, nice weather comparing to the north.

What is the student lifestyle like in Pau?

I spend 2 years in Pau partying most of the time, there is around 300 international students (erasmus, usac, evs, etc. ) what makes the city really rich culturally. I made friends from many countries around the world.

How much does it cost to live in Pau?

The rent (without the coffee) :

240 in a 9 meters square (residence)

300 to 380 in 18 meters square (residence)

Then living in an apartment depends on how many people are sharing, the size and the location of the apartment. But I would say between 200 and 400.

For the apartment it depends.
