Accommodation in public student housing

• Enrollment

In order to apply for housing in our accommodation, you must be enrolled in one of the Université PSL schools, or you must be admitted at the end of the application procedure if this is your first year of study (you will be asked for proof of admission during the procedure). PSL's Housing Service does not manage any allocation for stays shorter than one academic year, except in exceptional cases.

• Fee to benefit from the Housing service

If you choose to be helped to find accommodation, you will be asked to pay a €49 housing assistance fee during the procedure. This fee only applies to housing requests processed by the PSL Housing Service.

• Allocation criteria

Housing is allocated on the basis of income, geographical location and level of study (students who are farthest from the PSL campuses, and younger students, will be given priority).

• You are a Crous scholarship holder

The PSL Housing Service will be happy to help you accommodate. You should also apply for a student social package (Dossier Social Etudiant, DSE) as soon as March. The rents charged by the Crous are lower than those we can offer you with our partners. PSL's Service Accueil Logement is no part in the housing allocation process by the Crous de Paris. For information only, there are about 15 allocations per year for DSE holders among for Dauphine students. Scholarship holders in levels 5 to 7 are generally given priority. However, if you wish, you can also apply online to our accommodation. Your application will be considered a priority.

• You are not a scholarship holder

You may apply for housing at the PSL Housing Service in the same way as scholarship holders. However, your application will not be given priority. Non-scholarship students are usually not assigned to Crous housing but to the housing from our partners. For information, last year, we managed to offer accommodation to all the students who had requested one.

Please note: Crous Student Social package (Dossier Social Etudiant, DSE) is not available to international students arriving in France for the first time, nor to international students who do not pay a residence tax in France, or to those who have not lived in France for 2 years (according to Crous website).
However, PSL Housing Service can help you in your search for housing.

• Enrollment

In order to apply for housing in our accommodation, you must be enrolled in one of the Université PSL's schools, or you must be admitted at the end of the application procedure if this is your first year of study (you will be asked for proof of admission during the procedure). PSL's Housing Service does not manage any allocation for stays shorter than one academic year, except in exceptional cases.

• Fee to benefit from the Housing service

If you choose to be supported to find accommodation, you will be asked to pay a €49 housing assistance fee during the procedure. This fee only applies to housing requests processed by the PSL Housing Service.

• Housing certificate & visa

Please note that when you are a newcomer to Paris (coming from abroad) AND you are an international student from non-European Union countries, a document proving that you have found long-term accommodation in Paris will be required when you apply for your VLS-TS study visa. Applying to the SAL will enable you to obtain this document, which is mandatory for the continuation of your studies in France.

• Allocation criteria

PSL's Housing Service assists students enrolled in CPES or SMD program to find housing. Priority is given to students with Crous scholarship holders from level 1 to 7. However, Crous 0bis scholarship holders may also benefit from housing, subject to availability after allocation to higher level scholarship holders. Non-scholarship students may, if they wish, be housed in ALJT housing in Villejuif, subject to availability.
