Help! Uni Student bound for Montpellier France?

Question

I'm off to France in September-December and need a place to stay. I am going with another Irish student to Montpellier.

This will be my first visit to France so any information ppl can give about the location, atmosphere and particularly the life for an English speaking student in Montpellier looking to learn French would be much appreciated.

Ideally Im looking to find a nice 2 bedroom place either close to the City or close to the University of Business/Marketing. Not sure which one this is??

So far I have found these as possibilities:

Anyone who has done something similar/knows about this Region that can pass on info that might even be remotely beneficial I would much appreciate it as I'm a total newbie.

Thanks!

Answer 1

First, contact the CROUS Montpellier, it is a public entity that deals with students' accommodation.

They will have limited accommodation in university residences and they can provide you with lists of renting agencies.

You can also use the site www.logic-immo.fr

The department for Montpellier is 34 (Héraut).
