International student?
If you have to apply for a visa, it's important to reserve student accommodation for your first year. Other types of accommodation are often refused, especially free accommodation.

SHARED APARTMENT

It's the ideal option for students starting a new life.

Sharing an apartment is a good alternative between independence and cost. It is like having your own room in a large apartment. This means you can have your own living room in a furnished apartment in Paris with a lower cost.

The second advantage of sharing is meeting new people. Sharing a flat makes it easier to integrate into a new city, and makes it easier to meet new people. With a shared flat, you won't be alone, and you'll be sharing pleasant and amusing moments with your roommate(s).

STUDENT RESIDENCES

Student residence is one of the most economical solutions for students wishing to live on their own at low cost.

They usually consist of a small studio for yourself, ranging from 13m² to 20m².

This means you'll have your own place and live close to other students. You'll be able to make contacts more easily. Most student residence accommodation is furnished, and the rent includes utilities such as electricity, hot water, gas and sometimes WIFI.

We've selected a partner offering studio apartments up to 40 minutes from the school for rents ranging from 450 to 600 euros/month.

The only drawback is that this type of accommodation is in very high demand and requires a number of procedures, so we advise you to book several months in advance. Accommodation is usually fully booked by June.

FURNISHED STUDENT APARTMENTS

Aimed at students with guarantors in France and with greater means, renting a furnished studio apartment remains a good option.

Many websites offer furnished apartments for rent.

However, many landlords may be reluctant to rent to students.

In this case, you can also use the services of professional furnished rental agencies or estate agents. This way, you'll benefit from a wide range of offers and support in your search.

We advise you to use specialized platforms for students.
