Finding accomodation
Table of contents
It is important to decide on the type of housing your looking for before arriving in France.
The cost of housing varies widely, but ,like French students, you are eligible for housing assistance.
Otherwise looking for accomodation from outside the country can be difficult. You won't be able to visit properties and make fully informed decisions. It may also be difficult, from a distance, to persuade a property owner to let you sign a rental contract or convince him that you have someone who will guarantee payment of your rent.
For these reasons, the best solution is to find temporary housing for your first few weeks in France. You can thus have time to visit rooms or flats. Contact the International Office of the French higher education institutions to know where you can temporary stay at your arrival.
