Private student residences
Besides the public student residences by CROUS, there are some private student residences on the Côte d’Azur, which are located near the universities and public transports.
These residences are run by private operators and adapted to meet the needs of students. Usually, the private student residences offer higher quality services than public student residence by CROUS but turn out to be more expensive. Application fees may also apply for some residences. Therefore, we advise you to be well informed in advance to avoid any surprises.
