Where students live in Rennes
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.
Villejean
The humanities and medical campus in the north west, with more student rooms attached to it than anywhere else in Rennes and a price to match the plainness. Metro line B runs straight in.
- Studéa Atalantefrom €553/month
Beaulieu
The science campus and INSA out east, with the residences attached to them. Purpose-built, green, and silent once lectures finish.
- Les Estudines Longs Champsfrom €641/month
Sainte-Thérèse and Bréquigny
South on the metro, ordinary and inexpensive, with the municipal pool and the Bréquigny park at the end of the line.

What to know before choosing a room in Rennes
A city-by-city note about the decisions that change your daily routine. Prices and availability remain live in the listings above.
When Rennes opened its first metro line it became the smallest city in the world to have one, and it has since added a second. For a student that matters more than it sounds: the two university campuses sit on opposite sides of the city, Villejean to the north west and Beaulieu to the east, and the metro is what makes living near one while studying at the other tolerable. Rennes is the Breton capital, young, and has one of the highest proportions of students of any French city.

Getting around Rennes
Two automated metro lines plus buses run on one STAR ticket with a student rate, and line B is the one that links Villejean and Beaulieu through the centre, which is the journey that matters most here. Rennes is flat and well provided with cycle lanes, and the Vilaine and the canal towpaths give traffic-free routes out of the city. Rennes station reaches Paris Montparnasse in an hour and a half on the high-speed line, which is close enough that weekends in the capital are realistic, and Saint-Malo and the Breton coast are an hour by train.
