Accommodation in Paris
Finding accommodation in the Île-de-France region is not an easy task and can take some time. It is recommended that you plan ahead as much as possible. Every student is responsible for finding their own accommodation and, if necessary, look for temporary housing for the start of the academic year.
Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University has some accommodation units within university halls of residence that it allocates to exchange students. However, being accepted and enrolling at Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne does not guarantee any student with an offer of university accommodation. Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University will not issue proof of accommodation documents in advance and requires you to complete all necessary consular processing procedures beforehand. However, a proof of temporary address is sufficient.
To help you in your search, Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne offers a range of accommodation options. Unfortunately, these options are too limited to meet all demand.
