• Université de Bourgogne - The region's main university, offering a wide range of fields (sciences, engineering, law, economics, languages, etc.). Dijon is considered a thoroughly student-oriented city.
• Sciences Po Dijon (campus de Sciences Po Paris) - A regional Sciences Po campus focused on Central and Eastern European studies.

According to residents' opinions, Dijon is generally an acceptable city to live in, but in some neighborhoods (such as Grésilles and Chenôve) there are reports of an increase in petty crime and public nuisance. The city center and student areas are lively and busy during the day, but for nighttime travel (especially around the train station and outlying neighborhoods) it is best to take at least the usual precautions.

In Dijon, the DiviaMobilités public transport network includes trams (two main lines) and city buses. Most urban and university areas are covered by tram and bus, making it easy to get around without a car.
