In recent years, the school has enjoyed a very dynamic student life in which all the departments have become involved, based on projects run by the students’ office (BDE) and its various clubs: music, theatre, musicals, dance, board games and cooking groups being at the forefront. The sports office also proposes an array of various activities.

EntretiENS is a club created by ENS Rennes, in 2013. Its mission is to organise conferences within the school given by outside participants. The goal is therefore to encourage interdisciplinary encounters, to promote the exchange of ideas and debates and satisfy the intellectual curiosity of ENS students and that of the audience of these conferences. They are unrestricted, free and open to all: students, lecturers, retired persons, members of associations, citizens interested in the event, etc.
