Experience in Rennes, France by Minh

What is it like to live in Rennes? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

For someone coming from a high-pace city (HCMC) like me, Rennes is a heaven to enjoy calm and fresh air. One of the biggest advantage of this city is its affordable living cost. A student can manage to cover all of his/her expenses with 400e/month which is quite convenient compared to Paris or Lyon. In this city, Crous accommodation is comfortable and cozy that a foreign student should confidently experience during their study here.
