Rooms for rent for students in Strasbourg

The most option chosen by students who move to Strasbourg to study is probably renting a room in an apartment shared with other students. The price of the rooms starts at € 400 per month, approximately.

The rooms are private, but you will have to share common spaces, such as the kitchen and living room. Pay attention, because sometimes the bathroom is also shared by everyone who lives there. In addition, each apartment differs in the amenities it offers, such as whether expenses are included in the price or whether it has some basic appliances, such as a washing machine, refrigerator or microwave. You can see all these details on our map and compare the different options to choose the best one for you.

Student accommodation in Strasbourg

The city of Strasbourg, or at least the centre where students usually move, is small. To go from one place to another you can opt for public transport or rent a bicycle for several months and save on tickets (there are many bike lanes in the city, so it is easy to use). Below we give you recommendations and details of different areas of the city that are the most chosen by students to live in Strasbourg.

Apartments for rent in Center-Ville

This neighbourhood is the historic centre of the city. A studio apartment for rent in Center-Ville starts at € 600 per month onwards. On the other hand, a flat with two rooms to share costs an average of € 1,200.

Apartments in the Neudorf or Meinau neighbourhoods

These neighbourhoods are located at a slightly higher distance than the city centre and the University of Strasbourg, although in approximately 15 minutes you can reach the main campus by public transport. In addition, being a little further from the centre the prices are cheaper, starting from € 450 for a studio apartment.

Rooms for rent in Esplanade

Many students choose this area to live in because it is very close to the University of Strasbourg. Renting a room for students in the Esplanade neighbourhood has a price ranging from € 490 onwards.

Erasmus accommodation near the University of Strasbourg

This institution has different buildings located about 10 minutes walking to the south and southeast of the historic centre of Strasbourg. Therefore, the Center-Ville neighbourhood would be a good option to live near the University. Other closer alternatives to find your accommodation would be the Esplanade and Orangerie neighbourhoods.

Student residences in Strasbourg

In the French city, there are several student residences that you can choose to live during your Erasmus or course. Some are close to the university and others a little further away. In the latter, you will probably be able to save on rental costs but you will use public transport more. You have to decide if it is worth a little lower price but spending more time and money on transportation.

Likewise, getting a place in one of these residences is complicated, so we recommend renting a room in a shared flat or an entire flat.
