This city in eastern France attracts many international students not only because of the educational offer of the University of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté but also because of the easy access to natural areas and other countries, such as Switzerland.

In this type of accommodation, the costs of rent and utility bills are divided among all the roommates, allowing you to have more of your budget for your expenses.

Private room Besançon | 16 | €531 |

In this section, we advise you on what are some of the most outstanding pros and cons of living in this French city:
The use of Erasmus Apps will help with both your arrival in the French city and the time you spend there. One of these applications is that of the European Commission, where you can find help with procedures, request new mobility, read about different experiences and meet other young people. One of the tips from previous students is that you take the opportunity to improve your French and return home speaking it fluently. This language will be very useful in your professional future.
We recommend that you consider the following options to meet people in this French city:
The best association you can join is the ESN Besançon, an organization of voluntary students that helps Erasmus students to integrate into the city more easily. Thanks to this you get to meet other international young people while participating in many events and fun plans in the city.
Among the Facebook groups that you will find is the ESN Besançon group, where you can meet other young people before arriving in the city and check the activities calendar. Some of these activities include learning to dance salsa, theme parties and karaoke nights, games like bowling and laser tag, and some cheap trips to places like Marseille, Dijon, Lyon, and even Paris.
Most of the student associations and Facebook groups have WhatsApp groups where young people can check everything happening in the city at the moment, as well as connect with students with similar interests.
Keep these recommendations in mind when living in shared flats in the French city:
The average price of a room in a shared apartment depends on whether it is a spare room in a residence or a private apartment. The first alternative is usually cheaper, with a price of around €350 per month. The second, on the other hand, frequently have an average of €390 per month.
Do it in the Erasmus Play search engine, where you can check both rooms and complete apartments for several people. Compare the available accommodation, when you find the ideal one for you, book it completely online and safely.
The best way to be accompanied as soon as you arrive in the city is to live in a shared apartment, where you get to connect with your colleagues from the beginning. You can also be part of student associations such as ESN Besançon, and different Facebook and WhatsApp groups.
Because you will be able to save on rent, investing much more of your budget in activities and experiences in the city. Also, if you live with a French roommate, you will be able to get to know the local culture much more.
Ask about the interests of your roommates and their habits. Also find out the basic rules of the house, such as cleaning management, rules for receiving visitors, if you can smoke or have pets, etc.
