Housing information

Finding accommodation in Toulouse

Arriving in a new country is an exciting step, and finding a place to live is one of the first things to organize. In Toulouse, there are several housing options available, but it’s important to plan ahead to ensure a smooth start to your stay.

University residences managed by CROUS are often a popular choice for students. However, access for international students is very limited, and applications must be made through your institution’s international relations office. Because places are not guaranteed, it is strongly recommended to consider alternative housing options as early as possible.

Fortunately, Toulouse offers a wide range of accommodation, including private student residences, shared apartments, and studio rentals. Exploring these options in advance will help you avoid last-minute stress and give you more flexibility in choosing what suits your needs and budget.
 

With a bit of preparation and the right support, you’ll be able to find comfortable housing and fully enjoy your experience in this vibrant student city.
To support you in your search, several housing guides are available with practical advice on finding accommodation in Toulouse.

In addition, the Toulouse Welcome Desk is a valuable resource for international students. It assists you with everything related to housing, health, administrative procedures, and daily life in Toulouse.

The Welcome Desk also offers a paid support service called Toul’Box, designed to make your arrival in Toulouse easier.
With the Toul’Box, you can benefit from:

• Help finding accommodation (apartments, studios, student residences, etc.),
• Assistance with administrative procedures,
• Support upon arrival (welcome at the train station/airport, temporary accommodation, etc.).
