Hotel Fume, Poitiers

This listed building bears the coat of arms of the city's University and has housed renowned students. Among all those who have contributed to its prestige, there is the scholar and philosopher René Descartes who, in his early days, studied law. In homage to this illustrious student, the street leading to it now bears his name. The building is fully integrated into the faculty and houses its offices and other administrative premises. The recent entrance gives direct access to the succession of modern buildings which, placed end to end, make up UFR SHA. After passing the imposing wrought iron gates of the old entrance, you will have to beware of the petrified creatures that inhabit these venerable walls. In this bestiary, only one among all observes you perched higher than all the others. It is customary for students who have completed their registration to walk around the small paved courtyard in search of the curious animal. Legend has it that the time you take to find it will reveal the difficulty, or on the contrary the great ease, with which you will complete your studies. Here are some clues: he does not walk on the stone and he is not represented on the coat of arms. Whether you are engaged in these places for an hour or for a year, let yourself be taken in.

Pleasant experience as a student: amphitheaters and rooms in direct proximity to the city center, superb listed building and contemporary infrastructure, attentive teachers offering quality teaching for the most part. However, many difficulties relating to the surface area of ​​the rooms, the difficulties of communication between the school and the teachers, such as the delays linked to the publication of the marks may have partially tainted the memory of this course.
