Where to look in Lille
Use these established student areas as starting points, then compare each property's rent and route to your university.
Where students live in Lille
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.
Vieux-Lille
Flemish gables and cobbles north of the centre, the handsomest part of the city and the dearest. Small flats above shops, and everything within ten minutes.
- Les Estudines Lille, Europefrom €699/month
- Lille Euralillefrom €669.91/month
- Les Estudines Pasteurfrom €684/month
Wazemmes and Gambetta
The covered market and the Sunday crowds around it, cheap food and cheap rooms, ten minutes from the middle. The area most Lille students name first.
- Les Estudines Flandre Gambettafrom €663/month
- Les Estudines d'Artoisfrom €663/month
- Studéa Lille Centreprice on enquiry
Moulins and Porte de Douai
Beside the law and medical faculties, on metro line 1, and cheaper than anywhere closer to the centre. Its reputation is largely out of date.
- Studéa Novalillefrom €475/month
- Studéa Moulinprice on enquiry
Villeneuve-d'Ascq
A separate commune built around the Cité Scientifique, with lakes, a stadium and its own shops. Rents are well below the city and metro line 1 runs straight in.
- Studéa Lille Cite Scientifiquefrom €639/month
- Studéa Lille Ifrom €602/month
Roubaix and Tourcoing
Two towns at the end of the metro, former textile centres with the lowest rents in the area and a real journey into Lille. Worth it only if your budget needs it to be.
- Studéa Roubaixfrom €468/month
Useful to know nearby
Places students in Lille actually use. We have no arrangement with any of them.
- Bibliothèque Jean Lévy
The main public library near the centre, with reading and study space.
- Metro line 1
The key route from central Lille to Pont-de-Bois and the Cité Scientifique campuses.
- Marché de Wazemmes
A major covered and street market in the city’s best-known student neighbourhood.

What to know before choosing a room in Lille
A city-by-city note about the decisions that change your daily routine. Prices and availability remain live in the listings above.
Lille sits closer to Brussels than most French cities sit to their own neighbours, and the Eurostar stops here. Brussels is around half an hour by train and London under two, which makes this the easiest base on the site for anyone who wants to travel at weekends. The teaching is spread: law and medicine around the centre, humanities at Pont-de-Bois and the sciences at the Cité Scientifique in Villeneuve-d'Ascq, with both of the latter on metro line 1.

Getting around Lille
Lille's two metro lines are fully automated and run frequently, with trams out to Roubaix and Tourcoing, all on one Ilévia pass with a student rate. Line 1 is the one to know, running from the centre out through Porte de Douai to the Cité Scientifique, and line 2 covers Roubaix and Tourcoing. The centre itself is small enough to cross on foot in twenty minutes and flat enough to cycle, with the V'Lille hire scheme throughout. Two stations sit side by side: Lille-Flandres for domestic trains and Lille-Europe for Eurostar, Thalys and the TGV to Paris in about an hour.
Frequently asked questions
- 9 buildings in Lille publish a starting price, from €468 to €699 a month, and half of them start under €663. They sit unusually close together, so in Lille the choice is about location and room rather than price. Each figure is the cheapest room in that building, so compare the room lists rather than the headline.
- The buildings spread across 5 areas, led by Vieux-Lille, Wazemmes and Gambetta, Moulins and Porte de Douai, and Villeneuve-d'Ascq. Each is filed by its coordinates rather than by the area its marketing claims, so the table above puts every building where it actually stands.
- Not one of the 12 buildings we list in Lille puts it in writing. That is a gap in what they publish rather than a bill to budget for, and it is worth asking before you compare two rents.
