Best neighbourhoods to live in near UL

Here are some neighbourhoods that you can consider for living near the institution:

Vandœuvre-lès-Nancy

Located on the outskirts of Nancy, this neighbourhood is the closest to the Brabois Santé and Brabois-Ingénierie Campuses. It offers various accommodation options and is well-connected to the campus and the city centre by public transport.

Rives de Meurthe, Saint-Sébastien - Charles III and Artem (Nancy)

These three neighbourhoods in Nancy are very convenient if you are going to one of the campuses located in the city centre, such as the Coeur de Ville Campus and the Artem Campus.

The centre of Metz, Le Sablon, Montigny-lès-Metz, and Technopôle

These areas of Metz are some of the ones you can consider living in the city, depending on which campus you will go to. For example, Technopôle is ideal if you are going to the Metz Technopôle Campus, and from the centre of Metz, you will be close to both the Campus Bridoux and the Campus Saulcy.

Student residences near the UL

In Nancy, you will find private university residences near the institution, so that can be an option. On the other hand, both Nancy and Metz have student residences managed by CROUS, called Cités U. Keep in mind that priority in these residences is given to students whose stays are between six and twelve months, so if you are going for a shorter period, it may be difficult to find a place there.
