Living in Paris

Accommodation

EPITA helps international students to be accommodated in residence halls, private rooms or flats (350 to 500 euros per month). Registered students can have access to housing ads on the EPITA web site. Students can also benefit from a privileged access to three student residences situated next to the campuses, in Kremlin-Bicêtre and Villejuif. In addition, the school has several agreements with housing services in Paris.

Housing aid

If you pay a rent and have few resources, you may be eligible for housing aid. This financial assistance is paid out by the CAF (“Caisse d'Allocations Familiales”). The amount can reach 50% of the rent, within certain limits.

Dining facilities*

In addition to numerous bakeries, cafés and restaurants, each campus has its own cafeteria serving a variety of dishes. Also, the student card gives access to university restaurants (Kremlin Bicêtre, Cité Universitaire and so on).

The cafeterias on EPITA campuses are open every week day (8:00am-5:00pm) and on week-ends during workshops and special events.
Breakfast (8:00am-11:00am): € 1.70
Hot meals (11:00am-5:00pm): between € 3.50 and € 5.20

Organizations and Activities

Students have created many clubs to fulfill their diverse interests ranging from hands-on experience in IT aspects, to Japanese culture and various sports activities. Social events and entertainment are coordinated and promoted by our very dynamic students government through the school network. Dinners, crêpe parties, skiing in the Alps or dancing in famous Parisian nightclubs constitute not only welcome breaks but also invaluable means to experience the French way of life and meet new friends.
