Find a place in a university residence

The CROUS university residences

The CROUS university residences are residences reserved for students, subsidized by the State. The CROUS offers some of the lowest rents on the market (200 € on average for a room) while allowing students to benefit from the CAF housing subsidy. This is the reason why it is the most sought after type of housing for students.
Connect to the CROUS housing platform to search for a room and make a reservation.

Obtaining a room in a university residence hall is only possible for Master's students. Bachelor's students are not eligible.

Please note that the residences are mixed, meaning that boys and girls share the common areas and bathrooms.

Private student residences

You can also opt for a room in a private university residence. More expensive than CROUS rooms, they are still very accessible and offer certain advantages: communal living, furnished rooms, internet, laundry, gym...
