Nice housing options for American grad student in Paris?

Question

I will be moving to Paris this summer to begin graduate school in Paris in September. I would welcome all suggestions for housing options, especially those that are aimed more to grad students as opposed to undergraduate students. I do not want to share an apartment. I am already aware of Cite International. Thanks very much!

Answer 1

If what you want is and organization or website that provides cheap, spacious, comfortable. and centrally located private apartments  for graduate students then the fact is you're not going to find it because it doesn't exist.

The basic apartment strategy in Paris is to look out from the center or up to the top of Hausman era apartments for a 5th or 6th floor walk up.

The Paris real estate market isn't as organized as the market in most major American cities and renting an apartment is considerably more of a hassle than in the USA. You should give very serious consideration to employing a real estate agent.
