Although Brest is a quiet city to live in, generally young people always find different activities to do and places to visit. Of course, keep in mind that in this city it usually rains a lot, but students from previous years assure that it does not matter since you will be able to take advantage of the varied attractions that the city offers in the same way. You will also be able to enjoy sunny days on the nearby beaches.
Surely you are wondering, how much does it cost to live in Brest for students? This largely depends on the type of accommodation you choose, so in this article we will tell you everything you have to take into account to find the ideal apartment, room or student residence.
Are you looking for a cheap apartment for students in Brest? In this French city you will find two options: complete studio flats for you or apartments with more rooms to share with other young people. Generally, studio flats tend to have a higher cost than if you share an apartment, but the choice will depend on your preferences.
Keep in mind that the apartments are usually fully furnished to be able to move in immediately, so you will not have to worry about acquiring what is necessary for the apartment. We recommend that you take a good look at the characteristics of your room/apartment because each one has different amenities.
Regarding the price of a studio apartment, it usually goes from € 500 onwards. On the other hand, an apartment with more rooms to share is usually around € 700 per month, although the final price per person will depend on how many students are going to live there.
This option is one of the most chosen by international students who move to Brest on Erasmus since it is usually the most economical option and allows sharing the experience with other young people who are in the same situation.
Pay attention to the total rooms in the apartment where you are going to live to know the number of roommates you are going to have. Most of the available rooms have everything a student needs: bed, bedding, desk, study chair, lockers, etc.
The cost of rooms in shared flats is usually a minimum of € 330 and a maximum of € 500 per month. The average is around € 420 per month.
Looking for accommodation in an unfamiliar city can be overwhelming if we don't know which are the most convenient neighbourhoods. For this reason, below we will tell you which are the areas most chosen by students to live during their Erasmus experience in Brest.
The centre of Brest is the most recommended area to live in if you want to be close to the most popular entertainment venues among students, such as shops, bars, restaurants and museums. From the centre, you will also be able to easily reach the main campus of the University, in about 20 minutes by public transport or 30 minutes on foot.
This area is located to the north of the city centre and has the main campus of the University of Western Brittany to the south. Thanks to being close to the main institution, Bellevue has a large number of restaurants, bars and other places of interest to young people.
The southern part of this neighbourhood is east of Bellevue. Because of this, it is also close to the University and has a variety of places frequented by students every day. From Lambézellec you will be able to easily reach the city centre to enjoy everything it has to offer, in approximately 25 minutes by public transport.
The main campus of the University of Western Brittany is located in Brest, with its buildings spread over an area that stretches between the city centre and the Bellevue district. We recommend that you determine exactly in which area the school you are going to is located before looking for accommodation, to decide which are the most convenient neighbourhoods. Some of these neighbourhoods are usually Kergoat, Kerhallet and Quizac (in the Bellevue area), the centre of Brest and Saint-Marc.
The student residences offered by the university are managed by an organization called CROUS. This is in charge of processing the applications, assigning the places and others, so if you want to live in a residence you will have to present all the papers and carry out the procedures they ask for. For this reason, many young people prefer to rent a room in a private shared flat.
