Crous housing residence
The CROUS are social student residences accessible on the condition of resources and allocated according to the student social file (DSE). The CROUS residences are spread throughout the national territory by academy, with a decentralized system. Prices for CROUS residences are generally the most affordable on the market and cheaper than private residences even if the quality of service is not the same.

These accommodations are eligible for student housing assistance of the APL type.
