Accomodation

We strongly recommend that you plan ahead and allow yourself sufficient time to look for accommodation. You will have enough to cope with in the first few days of your arrival (settling into unfamiliar surroundings, speaking a different language, dealing with formalities) without the added worry of not having somewhere to live. That is why organising temporary accommodation for the first part of your stay is an advisable option while you allow yourself time to search for suitable accommodation.

Burgundy School of Business does not own or manage student accommodation but the International Office and the student association Melting Potes is here to help you look for the best options.

Apartments

The International Office can help students to find accommodation in advance by providing a list of apartments for rent which can be sent by e-mail. Afterwards students themselves should contact the owner of the building and arrange their accommodation. Rent for a furnished room varies between 300 Euros and 450 Euros per month, plus utilities. You may also have to pay a deposit amounting to 2 months' rent.

Homestay

Home stays with French families are also available at around 380 Euros per month, including breakfast and, sometimes, depending on the type of home stay, 3 evening meals a week. If you choose this type of accommodation, you must inform the International Office well in advance, and at least 3 weeks before your arrival.

Student residences (Foyers)

The average monthly rent is 115 € for a basic room, 366 € for an apartment for a couple and 216 to 291 € for the more recent constructions. These prices include charges and they are rented out for between 8 to 12 months.
