In few words
Clermont-Ferrand has always been a student town… industrial in the last century, it has re-invented itself in recent years to become the creative, connected and moving town in the west of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region!
Clermont, a student-friendly city
Clermont is a dynamic city and a great place to study with a low cost of living and a high quality of life (International short film festival, international music festivals, theatre, concerts, etc….). The city has an active student population of approximately 40 000 students (around 5,000 are international students) and has witnessed a big increase in its population size during the last few years (+7%) as more people are attracted by the what the city has to offer.
According to the Etudiant ranking of the most pleasant cities in France where to study, Clermont-Fd comes in 3rd position for cities with 30,000 students. Nice score.
Cost of Living
Clermont-Ferrand is one of the most affordable student cities in France. It is much cheaper than other major cities like Paris, Lyon etc..
Living expenses, including rent, food, other bills, can be estimated at approximately 550-800€ per month, depending on a student’s lifestyle and the type of accommodation rented.
During the first month students will need extra money for rent deposits, connecting electricity, gas, telephone and various other extras, especially if she/he will rent her/his own flat. Students are strongly advised to open a bank account as soon as they arrive in France and to deposit/ wire enough money to cover all these initial expenses.
A festival town!
It’s quite common to be surprised by the local cultural life, which one doesn’t imagine as rich and varied when one doesn’t live there. Clermont-Ferrand is a real city of internationally recognised festivals. You have to live, for example, the week of the International Short Film Festival to get the measure of it since it is the 2nd film festival in France in terms of attendance behind the Cannes Film Festival. Clermont-Ferrand is, by the way, a city which offers one of the highest ratios of cinema seats per inhabitants in France, whether you are in the mood for multiplex or arts and essays.
We can also mention Europavox which, for more than 10 years and in conjunction with the Rock en Seine team, has been bringing together musical talents from all over Europe. There are many other emblematic festivals throughout the year: travel diaries, photography, documentaries, video and digital arts, performing arts…
All this is happening at a time when many stages, exhibition halls and museums have their own programmes: The Coopérative de Mai for contemporary music (and its afterworks), the Comédie Scène nationale, the MARQ, the FRAC, the Opera, the Orchestre d’Auvergne…
And, of course, there are the student associations within the School which contribute to this local edifice.
