Ministry
In addition, the Ministry of Higher Education and Research has set up a centralized page containing useful information on finding student accommodation.
All the information is grouped together on the site etudiant.gouv.fr, which will provide you with indications for :
- Finding accommodation in university halls of residence;
- Finding accommodation in a private residence (which platforms to search on, how to compile a rental file, etc.);
- Know your rights when sharing a flat
- Find out about the various forms of assistance available for housing, rental deposits and mobility;
- Find temporary accommodation for internships or competitions, for example;
- Identify the formalities (internet, electricity, insurance, etc.) to be carried out after a move. These are all reflexes that can be complex, especially when you're leaving your parents' home for the first time.
- Find a map of information posted by universities.
