But in your heart of hearts, you know that Parisian real estate is expensive! The prospect of living in 9m² with a toilet on the landing, on the 8th floor without a lift, is already worrying you... 3 hours of RER train per day is giving you downright nightmares!

Read on, we tell you everything to succeed in your search for the Grail, the student apartment of your dreams does indeed exist in Paris…

Student residences or classic rental?

It all depends on your desires, your habits and your personal finances.

Student residences are strategically well located to make life easier for students. They offer a whole host of handy services.

The classic rental by agency or directly with the owner will ask you to organize a move, unless you rent an already furnished apartment. Landlords are selective about the profiles of their tenants, your rental file must be concrete to win!

Les estudines, the right accommodation solution for the start of the school year

At les estudines, you can choose from more than 30 student residences in Paris and Ile-de-France.
