Accommodation

Accommodation in Paris-Saclay

Paris-Saclay University and its constituent faculties are located south of Paris. Depending on the faculties you are attending, the location of your classes may be:

• Kremlin-Bicêtre
• Sceaux
• Châtenay-Malabry
• Orsay - Bures
• Cachan

All these cities are on the RER B line, about 30-45 minutes from Paris, see map below.

University housing

Managed by the CROUS, the residences are located close to the teaching sites.

Go to the website: https://trouverunlogement.lescrous.fr/

 

Obtaining an accommodation in a university residence can be difficult because the number of rooms available does not always meet the demand. Plan for an alternative solution and continue to look for accommodation even after you have submitted your accommodation request.
