“The campus is very cool, with lot of associations and a gym in it. You also have the student bar next to it with very great activities during the day and good music for the night. However, it’s a bit far from the center if you want to go by foot but very close by bike (for public transport it takes around 30min if you live in the center)”

The campus is honestly amazing! There is a supermarket, restaurants, a gym and even sports facilities directly on campus, which is super convenient. The school itself is really beautiful and modern. The campus life is a bit more mixed. There are quite a few sports clubs and activities, but compared to IÉSEG, there are significantly fewer student associations, so I found student life a little less developed on that side. That being said, the campus itself is great and there are still plenty of opportunities to get involved. Overall, I would definitely choose BI again for an exchange!
