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.
Central, flat, and walkable to both the 5e and the 11e. The buildings are old and lifts are the exception, so ask which floor before you sign anything.
Université Paris Cité's Grands Moulins campus, the Bibliothèque François Mitterrand, and the only part of inner Paris built tall. Cheaper than the 5e, with line 14 and the tram to get you across town.
The largest arrondissement and one of the calmest, residential and thoroughly served by metro, with Montparnasse at the north end for trains west. Several of the bigger residences are here and a room costs less than half what the 5e asks for the same space.
North of the Gare du Nord, mixed and busy, running from Montmartre's slopes down to the Périphérique. Among the cheapest inner arrondissements and well connected by lines 2, 4 and 12.
North east around the park and the Bassin de la Villette, with a line of residences along the canal. Cheaper than anywhere central and much better connected than its reputation allows.
Belleville, Ménilmontant and the streets running out to the Périphérique, which is where a great deal of Paris actually lives. Mixed, busy, and among the last genuinely affordable inner arrondissements.
The business district west of the city, towers and raised walkways, with the Léonard de Vinci campus on the site. RER A and metro 1 put the centre twenty minutes off, and the whole place empties at the weekend.
West beyond La Défense, with Nanterre's university and the RER A, and Suresnes on the hill above the Seine. Suburban, considerably cheaper than the city, and a twenty minute train in.
Immediately north west across the Périphérique, ordinary residential communes on lines 13 and 14. Good value, and close enough that people forget they have left Paris.
Directly north, rebuilt fast around the Olympic village and the Cité du Cinéma at Pleyel. Still markedly cheaper than the other side of the boundary, with the flea market at Saint-Ouen.
South west over the river, the most prosperous of the inner suburbs, with the Bois de Boulogne on one side and the Seine on the other. Calm, well served, and not cheap.
Three communes immediately beyond the south western Périphérique, inside the tram and metro network and a long way under inner Paris on price. Ordinary residential streets rather than postcard Paris.
Three communes strung along the southern edge, about three miles apart, all on the tram or the RER B and all a good deal less per month than the 14e above them.
South east past the 13e on metro 7, near the Gustave Roussy hospital and Paris Cité's medical teaching. Inexpensive by Paris standards and close enough to the 13e to walk in.
East and south east where the Marne meets the Seine, on line 8 and the RER A. Residential, green along the water, and inexpensive for the distance.
Out on the Saclay plateau where the engineering schools have moved, on the RER B and C. Worth it only if you are studying there, because central Paris is forty minutes away in each direction.
A new town twenty miles north west with its own university campus, on the RER A. Rents here are the lowest on this page and the commute into central Paris is around fifty minutes.
Twelve miles east on the RER A, built around the Cité Descartes campus and its engineering schools. Purpose-built and quiet, and a long way from anything social.
Twenty miles east at the end of the RER A, a planned town next to the theme parks. Cheap, new, and further from Paris than most people realise when they book it.
Places students in Paris actually use. We have no arrangement with any of them.
A full meal for a few euros at any Crous restaurant in the city, and less again if you hold a bourse. This is most of the reason Paris is survivable on a student budget.
The student travel pass for the whole of Île-de-France, billed monthly across the year. Worth arranging in your first week, because single fares here add up quickly.
The reading room on the place du Panthéon, open to students enrolled in higher education. Nineteenth century iron and glass, and completely silent.
Covered hall and street market near Bastille, with some of the cheapest produce in inner Paris. Closed on Mondays.

Most room types to choose from
A city-by-city note about the decisions that change your daily routine. Prices and availability remain live in the listings above.
Paris student housing is easier to understand when you start with the transport line serving your campus. Central arrondissements offer private studios, shared flats and some student residences, but space is limited and competition is high. A large part of the managed student accommodation supply sits just beyond the Périphérique in places such as Villejuif, Saint-Ouen, Nanterre, Ivry-sur-Seine and Massy. These addresses can still provide a direct metro or RER journey, and in some cases a shorter trip to campus than a more central room that requires two changes.
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.
Paris journeys depend more on the line and number of changes than on straight-line distance. Metro, RER, train, tram and bus services connect the wider Île-de-France region, and eligible students can compare the imagine R student pass with other Navigo options. Check the route from the property entrance to your actual teaching building, including the walk at both ends. Also test the journey at lecture time and late in the evening, because frequency and the practical route home can change outside the daytime timetable.
