Accommodation in Paris

Residence Halls

Residence halls remove some of the complexities of renting privately, through a landlord, and having to use real estate providers. In addition, residence halls are sometimes safer, ensures you are with other like-minded students or individuals, and often the services provided are better, as they are delivered collectively to all residents.
