Accommodation Options

The school works together with a professional organization in Paris that sets students up with accommodation. They consider personal preferences and select housing located as closely to the programme as possible within Paris. Upon renting an apartment/room with them, there are following fees due: service fee of 150 Euros + a security. The security will be returned at the end of the rental. A four-week rental may start at 650 Euros.
If students like to save the service fee for the professional organization, they may also look on their own. A good website with detailed descriptions and pictures of the accommodations is http://www.appartager.com/. This site works in many languages and is easy to navigate.
