About us
What does ESN Rennes do?
Our mission is simple: to welcome international students to the Rennes 2 campus and help you make the most of your year in Brittany’s capital. We’re here to connect people, share local culture, and make your stay as exciting as it is fun ✌️
Are there activities specifically for new students?
Absolutely! We run events all year round, but we go all out at the start of each semester to help you meet new people and settle into student life in Rennes. Follow us on Instagram so you don’t miss a thing 😉
How can I join your events?
Super easy — we post all our upcoming activities on Instagram. You’ll find all the key info there (location, time, cost if any). Our events are open to all international students, so feel free to come along, even if it’s just to say hi!
Do you offer a buddy system?
We don’t run a buddy programme ourselves, but we’re always here to welcome you on campus. If you’d like to be matched with a local student, we highly recommend signing up for the Buddy System — you can apply directly on their website 🙂
How can I get in touch with you?
You can message us on Instagram, join our WhatsApp group, or simply send us an email at: esn.rennes@gmail.com. We’ll do our best to reply quickly!
How can I become a volunteer with the association?
Keen to join the team? Just drop us a message on Instagram — that’s where we’re most active. Our team changes every year (around summer/September), but we’re always happy to welcome new friendly and motivated people. Don’t hesitate to reach out 😉
Where can you find us?
📍 The ESN Rennes office is located on the Université de Rennes 2 campus. The exact address is: Place Recteur Henri le Moal, Building B, Room B150.
📆 Opening hours: Our office hours are updated regularly on our Instagram account.
To join our events and stay up to date with everything happening at ESN Rennes, we strongly recommend joining our WhatsApp group for the current academic year.
We don’t have a fixed office (yet), but we’re always here to help! Follow us on social media and come say hi at one of the many events we organize throughout the year 😉
