University residences
Students who would like to live in a university residence in Lille can make a request a few months before the start of the school year. Start your search from the list of residences near the campus.
You may find further information on the housing brochure.
Please note that students may need to have a guarantor – a person or an organisation that will guarantee the payment of the rent and bills in case of default on your part. Their financial resources must correspond to at least three times the amount of the rent.
CROUS
The mission of CROUS (regional centres of university and academic services) is to assist in improving students' life and work conditions. Apartments in university residences are usually managed by CROUS and are the cheapest lodging option. The CROUS of Lille Nord-Pas-de-Calais manages close to 10 000 places for accommodation, ranging from furnished rooms to three-room flats in 43 different student residences. They are allocated according to an applicant's social criteria (parents' income, distance, and so on). For the academic year 2020/2021, the application should be submitted online between May 5th, and June 22nd 2020. Complementary admissions are made during summer and at the beginning of the school year based on remaining places. For more information, visit CROUS Lille or Lokaviz.
