About Paris

Why students choose Paris

Paris is one of the most well-known student cities in Europe, home to Sorbonne University, Sciences Po, and dozens of grandes écoles. International students typically choose between studios in the Latin Quarter (5e), Saint-Germain (6e), and the right-bank Marais (3e and 4e). Studios in Paris are compact compared with the UK or US, but bills are often included.

The Sorbonne sits in the 5th arrondissement, the historic Latin Quarter. The 6th arrondissement (Saint-Germain-des-Prés) is more expensive but still popular with postgraduates. The Marais (3rd and 4th) is well-connected by Metro and gives a slightly cheaper rent for similar studio sizes. The 13th and 14th arrondissements are popular with international undergraduates because of lower rents.

  • Top Paris universities and campus links

    Paris's student population is anchored by Sorbonne University, Sciences Po, Université Paris Cité, and Université Paris-Dauphine. When choosing student accommodation in Paris, most students prioritise the walking-distance or single-transfer commute to their own department, since it saves 60 to 90 minutes a day on lectures, labs, and evening study.

    On each Paris property page you will see the exact minute count to nearby universities and whether the campus is served by direct public transport. If you already know your university, filter by it before comparing rooms, it saves a lot of back and forth.

  • Best areas for students in Paris

    The best areas for student accommodation in Paris include Latin Quarter (5e), Saint-Germain (6e), Le Marais (3e/4e), 13e, and 14e. Each has a distinct mix of student housing, cafes, supermarkets, and public transport connections, so the "best" area really depends on which university you attend and what kind of neighbourhood you want to live in.

    If you are new to Paris, aim for neighbourhoods with a high student population and good late-night public transport. Areas near your university's main campus are safest for evening walks home and mean you can lie in for 9 AM lectures.

  • Cost of living for students in Paris

    The cost of student accommodation in Paris typically starts from €645/month, and rent is usually the single biggest line item in a student's budget. Beyond rent, students in Paris typically budget for groceries, public transport, mobile data, and social spending.

    If Paris rents feel steep, it can be worth comparing with cities like Dublin and Bordeaux: the same weekly budget often stretches further, and some France universities have satellite campuses across multiple cities.
