Student life

Participation in clubs, cultural activities, and sports is an integral part of the ENSTA experience. It contributes to students' personal development, develops their sense of responsibility, and strengthens cohesion within the student community.

Student life at ENSTA: a collective, festive, and engaging adventure

Joining ENSTA is much more than just pursuing an excellent education: it means entering a dynamic community where student life plays a central role. Throughout the year, students bring the campus to life through memorable events, community projects and unforgettable moments of conviviality.

From the very first weeks, the Orientation Weekend (WEI) sets the tone: a warm welcome, fun activities, team spirit... no hazing, but lots of energy! Then come the BDE, BDA, and BDS campaigns, two intense weeks of activities to elect the offices that will set the pace for campus life. The Gala, sports and cultural weekends, sports tournaments, and even the ski week are all highlights that leave a lasting impression and strengthen bonds.

With more than 130 associations covering all areas—sports, culture, technology, entrepreneurship, solidarity—everyone can get involved, discover new passions, or simply enjoy a stimulating and supportive atmosphere.
