Altogether, the universities of Lille include more than 90,000 students and 3,000 PhD Doctorate students supported by university research laboratories.

Association Ulysse

Association Ulysse, or Club Ulysse as it is also known, is a non-academic extracurricular club targeted specifically to international students studying at Lille III. The club's goal is to connect study abroad students with native French students in order to ease their transition to Lille III and to create an opportunity of cross-cultural exchange.[1] Through Association Ulysse, foreign students can sign up for a French partner who can act as a guide to the university and around the city. The main attraction of the club is the many day trips that it offers, including trips to Bruges, Amsterdam, London, and many more surrounding European cities. There is also Cafe Ulysse where students can gather, get food, and listen to music between classes.
