(Bachelor's, Master's & PhD)

Finding a place to stay is one of the most crucial steps after securing admission to study in France, there are many housing options for students that come with varying price tags in different locations.

One important before you arrive in detail is to check that there is an appropriate accommodation arrangement for you.

We offer accommodation services to all our students via our housing partners in France. All the options will be presented to you with the estimated prices that you are most comfortable with and the standards that suit your taste.

Hotel accommodation is many students’ first choice when they arrive, as hotels are very comfortable and cost-effective in France however, there is no long-term visibility in them especially as a student studying for a full-time degree.

So it is advisable that you find long-term hotel accommodation in the city or within your university location. This option is also affordable and comes with many utilities that can make your stay quite fulfilling. The spaces are not constricted and students have a kitchen space where they can prepare their own meals.

In addition to the above mentioned, there are other options for students such as private apartments and flats that are up for rent in different parts of your university location. This option is quite cheaper and very popular among many student communities within the country.

The price of renting an apartment in France varies from city to city and changes depending on the type of building or its proximity to the main city area.

Houses in the suburbs are considerably less expensive for students that houses within the city, and as such we find many students choosing to reside in suburban areas just to save cost. Because France has a large number of foreign students trooping in yearly, house owners are extremely welcoming to students who wish to rent an apartment.

Likewise, students can also choose to share a house and split all rental costs and utility costs evenly. This option is common all over the world and not different in France, two or three students combine their funds and pay for a home where all the bills are split equally amongst them.

This option is also very inexpensive but we advise that you are careful in your dealings as some form of privacy is lost under this arrangement. Also, some home-owners require a contract to be signed for a 6 month to 12 month period, so have this in mind before you choose this option.

The basic price for accommodation in France is between €300 to €900 which is paid on a monthly basis and the price changes as you move from city to city with the accommodation type put into consideration. We advise that you inform us of your budget and any other specific details that you have and we will present you premium options that are tailored to your needs.

Likewise, individuals can also choose to reside in any on-campus accommodation that is available in their respective universities. Many universities in France offer student accommodation such as hostels, dormitories or halls of residence solely for its students for a small fee or sometimes even free.

This option is suitable for students who consider proximity tıo their university as a major concern when searching for accommodation. Students who also wish to save costs on transportation can reside in any of the university facilities provided. 

The French government understands that student life can be a bit challenging especially with the pressures that come with funding your education in the country, and as such have come up with a few schemes to help reduce this burden off from international students pursuing their higher education in France.

These housing programs offer students with financial assistance towards their rent or even free housing facilities managed and administered by the government.

One of such schemes that have benefitted many foreigners in the country is the CAF scheme. CAF stands for Caisse d’Allocation Familiales and is a French family benefit fund in which each student receives one-third of their monthly rental cost from the government.

Interested students must apply early and provide the necessary documentation to strengthen their claims.
