It is located in the northeast of France, at a very strategic point that allows you to travel to other nearby cities.

Cost of living in Nancy, France
The standard of living in Nancy is a bit high, but don't worry because it's not as expensive as in big cities like Paris or Strasbourg. In other words, it is not one of the most expensive cities in France, but it is not one of the cheapest either. Also, as Nancy is a very student city, there are many discounts for all students in transportation, museums, bars, etc., and the university cafeterias offer lunch menus for less than five euros. Of course, accommodation will be the biggest expense you have and, therefore, our advice is to start the search as soon as possible. From our Erasmus Play website, you can find spare rooms for €240.
Thus, taking into account the costs of accommodation, food, transport and leisure, a student can spend around €750-800 per month. This amount is only an approximation and may vary depending on your lifestyle and needs.
