Within the CentraleSupélec campus, students can choose between the quick lunch option at one of the two cafeterias that offer various take-away options — sandwiches, salads, pasta-boxes, as well as coffee/tea and pastries — and the fuller fares offered by the two university restaurants, which provide full meals at very inexpensive student prices, both at lunchtime and dinnertime. Food trucks bring hamburgers and other world food options to campus every day, and the “Lieu de Vie”, a few minutes’ walk away, also offers lunch and dinner meals for students.
The rapid urbanization of the area will soon bring more options to campus —a pizzeria, a French restaurant, and several cafés are in the works and should soon complete the dining offer.

The CentraleSupélec campus hosts over 150 student clubs and societies, many of which are actively involved in social and humanitarian work.
The Bureau De l’International, a.k.a. “BDI”, brings together international and local students interested in exchanging and promoting exchanges across national groups. The BDI organizes orientation weeks at the start of each semester, as well as various dance classes, cultural workshops, parties, etc. throughout the year. Its various “national clubs” that gather students from a specific country or region of the globe also give French students a sense of their cultures and provide them a “stay-at-home” travel experience through dinners and conversation sessions, as well as language classes and workshops. Those interested in pushing the travel experience further can take advantage of the visits organized by the students to their native lands.
Many other student organizations are active on campus — among which the “BDE” (Bureau des Étudiants), which organizes parties and activities for students; the Association des Résidents, which helps with matters relating to life on campus; Le Musée, which is the local student bar; the poker club; the campus radio station; the junior company that acts as a consulting firm; the debating society; and the five humanitarian organizations intervening in five countries (Peru, Cambodia, Burkina Faso, Madagascar and Nepal); the environmental protection club; the LGBTQ+ association; the tutoring club for high school students in underprivileged areas; the various music, dance and arts clubs; the religious groups; the cooking and wine tasting workshops. The list is long, and those who do not find a club to their liking can always start a new club of their own!
In addition, the 28 sports sections guide students through the sports facilities and activities on campus and organise ski trips and sailing regattas.
Finally, one of our buildings is home to a fully equipped theatre stage,which allows the CentraleSupélec theatre troupe, “Gueule des Bois”, to perform five times a year. You can join them to write and act in your own play!
