Student life - Useful contacts and websites

Non-EU students willing to stay more than 3 months in France must submit a request for a residence permit at the Prefecture. If needed, a UPEC Officer in charge of immigration related matters will provide you assistance.

Paris and its region being one of the most expensive areas in Europe, please have a look at list of estimated expenses for current items in order to establish your monthly budget. Thanks to your UPEC student card, you will beneficiate from reduced fares to cultural and leisure events.

Our Faculty can propose rooms in public student residences to international students. However, the accommodation capacities for international students are extremely limited in student residences in Paris region.

That is why we advise you to apply as much as you can for the private dormitories as for example:

www.adele.org
www.fac-habitat.com
www.clubetudiant.com 
www.aljt.com

You can also find a room or a flat owned by a private landlord by having a look on the flat advertisements on:

A UPEC Officer in charge of accommodation related issues will provide you assistance, if needed.

As international student, you can enroll in any of the sport courses proposed at UPEC.
