Accommodation : CROUS Paris (students’ welfare office)

University halls of residence for those who need them most.

Since CROUS Paris still has only a limited number of places available in student accommodation, it gives priority to grant-holding students who have already successfully completed two years in higher education, and for a maximum stay of three years.

The number of beds available in the CROUS Paris halls of residence currently stands at 6,000.

Foreign students on French government grants (BGFs) or foreign government grants (BGEs) whose administrative files are handled by CROUS or those who come on university exchange programmes may also be eligible for accommodation.

At the beginning of, and even during, the academic year, new halls of residence are opened. Stay informed by going to the home page of the website.
