Pick a university and see the buildings around it, with the walk or the ride to campus on every one.
Use these established student areas as starting points, then compare each property's rent and route to your university.
Areas students actually take rooms in, with the buildings closest to each one. Matched by location, so a building appears under the area it stands in rather than the area its marketing claims.
Handsome, walkable and the most expensive, with the science faculties nearby and the Bastille cable car going up from the river.
West of the station, formerly industrial and now the liveliest central district, and the best value inside Grenoble proper.
Places students in Grenoble actually use. We have no arrangement with any of them.
Central public library and study space.

A city-by-city note about the decisions that change your daily routine. Prices and availability remain live in the listings above.
Grenoble is the flattest city in France and it is surrounded on three sides by mountains, which is a combination that does not occur anywhere else. The Vercors, the Chartreuse and the Belledonne all rise directly from the edge of town, there is a cable car from the city centre up to the Bastille fort, and ski resorts are within an hour. The Université Grenoble Alpes campus is not in Grenoble proper: it sits across the Isère in Saint-Martin-d'Hères, a separate commune on the tram, which is where most of the student housing is too.
Room types, what bills included really covers, when to book, and what to check if you are arriving from abroad.
Comparing options? These are the other cities in Europe where most students on our shortlist are basing themselves.
Five tram lines and a dense bus network run on one TAG ticket with a student rate, and trams B and C are the ones that reach the campus, taking about fifteen minutes from the centre. Grenoble being flat makes it one of the best cycling cities in France, with a genuinely complete lane network and the Métrovélo hire scheme. The mountains are the point for a lot of people here, and the ski buses leave from the main bus station next to the railway. Grenoble station reaches Lyon in about an hour and a quarter and Paris in three.
