Private students’ residences for students constitute a halfway house between traditional students’ residences and residential hotels. They offer comfortable studio apartments in buildings with a wide range of services: cafeteria, laundry, gym, TV room, etc. While this is a handy arrangement for those who lack the time to look for an apartment, it is relatively costly.

The association for the economic development of student accommodation or ADELE (Association pour le Développement Economique du Logement Etudiant) provides a city-by-city list of students’ residences on www.adele.org (the website also provides addresses of hostels). There are 28 private residences in Paris.

For each students’ residence, the website details the rent and the services provided. In certain cases, it is possible to reserve a studio online or to add your name to a waiting list, by clicking on the i-Bail button and completing the appropriate form.
