Accommodation

Hall of residence on campus

 
The University of Lille 1 and Polytech Lille can offer to exchange students coming from our partner institutions accommodation in the hall of residence ‘’REEFLEX’’.
We can propose a 18m² single room at a rate of 351 €/ month.
It includes: a kitchenette equipped with 2 hotplates, a fridge and cupboards, a private bathroom (shower and toilets), desk, storage space, wireless internet.
Please mention in the ‘Accommodation’ section of the application form that you want to apply for a room in a student residence.
As the number of room is limited, we cannot guarantee to meet all the accommodation requests.
 

Private accommodation

 
Searching for a private housing from outside the country can be difficult. You won’t be able to visit apartments 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. Students must have a guarantor living in France or in another European country. If you do not have a guarantor, you may have to pay a year’s rent in advance. For these reasons, we strongly recommend you to apply for accommodation in a hall of residence.
 

Share house

 
If you choose to share a flat with 2 or 3 students in town, you will be quite far from the school but closer to the city center. The rent will be often more expensive than on the cam-pus. You will also have to pay a local tax called “taxe d’habitation” (which is not the case in a public hall of residence).

The CRIJ (Regional Center for Youth) is a public organization which can provide an accommodation service, facilitating contacts between the owners of flats and young people.
