Accommodation in Strasbourg
The three areas most sought after by students in Strasbourg are the Krutenau, the Esplanade and the Gare area. The average budget for an apartment remains rather affordable for a student, since it amounts to 446 € for a studio (for a T2, it will take 615 €). Not surprisingly, the standard student apartment in Strasbourg is a furnished studio from 20 to 29m2.
If you need help finding accommodation or if you are having difficulties, be aware that the CROUS offers more than 5,000 beds in Strasbourg student residences or apartments. You can also turn to intergenerational cohabitation: elderly people make part of their accommodation available to students. You can also inquire to find out if you are entitled to assistance such as ALS, APL or CLÉ.
Getting around Strasbourg
There are several measures put in place by the city of Strasbourg to help young people get around. These include the bus-tram subscription for 19-25 year olds, and the Hibus network if you like going out at night! If you are eco-responsible and you like to cycle, you can also use the Vélhop.
