- Nanterre is the second largest campus in France after Nantes, with its own Olympic-sized swimming pool and a stadium.
- It welcomes 35 to 40,000 students every year in all fields of studies: Social Sciences, Philosophy, Literature, History, Languages and Linguistics, Economics, Law and Political Sciences, as well as Teacher Training, Acting, Cinema, Physiology and Sports.
