🏆 BDE Wanted: when UXCO Student supports the boldest campuses
At UXCO Student, we don’t just offer stylish, well-located student residences — we also want to bring campus life to the next level.
And what better way to energize a school than with a BDE (Student Office)? Our residences are full of BDEs, and trust us, we know how essential they are to student life.
That’s where the idea for the BDE Wanted contest was born: a fun, meaningful call for projects to find the most creative BDEs in France, the ones who don’t just organize parties, but truly bring student life to life.
A contest designed by and for students
The concept was simple: each BDE had to post an original video (30 seconds to 1 minute) introducing their team, their city, and their project to energize campus life.
The goal? Highlight inspiring, committed, and bold student associations — the ones that perfectly embody our mantra:
👉 “Your future starts here.”
After several weeks of applications and a community vote, two BDEs stood out:
- 🎓 BDE FIMI from ENSIL-ENSCI in Limoges, an engineering school,
- 💻 And the BDE from École 42 in Lyon, a hub for code and digital creativity.
🥇 And the winner is…
The BDE FIMI from ENSIL-ENSCI wins the competition 🎉
Thanks to their high-energy video and their inclusive project, they take home a €5,000 grant 💸 to boost life on their campus, exclusive UXCO Student goodies, and personalized support to bring their ideas to life.
The BDE 42 Lyon didn’t leave empty-handed: they also received a great UXCO Student goodies pack, because in our eyes, creativity should always be rewarded 👏
🤝 Why UXCO Student supports BDEs
At UXCO Student, our mission doesn’t stop at the doors of our residences.
We want to support students beyond housing, help them thrive in their new city, make connections, and enjoy unforgettable experiences.
BDEs play a key role in that journey: they build community, keep campuses vibrant, and make every student experience unique.
So supporting these associations is an obvious choice for us — it means investing in the energy, creativity, and solidarity that keep student life beating strong.
🚀 What’s next?
This first edition of BDE Wanted marks the beginning of an exciting journey between UXCO Student and BDEs across France.
More collaborations are coming soon, always with the same mission: making student life more vibrant, more fun, and more daring.
