This French city is relatively small, but there are several areas that you can consider when looking for student accommodation. To make your search easier, we will tell you which are some of the neighbourhoods most chosen by young internationals to live in Poitiers.
This is the central district of Poitiers, where you will find the historic centre with several of the city's ancient buildings and monuments.

Gibauderie is located next to the main campus of the University of Poitiers, east of the city centre. The neighbourhood is ideal for students who are going to take courses on that campus, although it is also just a few minutes by public transport from the most central areas.
This institution has a main campus that is located to the east of the city. It stands out for being the French campus that has the most students concerning the total population of the city, so it can be said that it is a full-fledged student city. In addition, the campus is being converted into an eco-campus, with several green spaces, squares and places to play sports. Faculties such as Law, Economic Sciences, Medicine and Pharmacy and Letters and Languages, for example, are located there.
The University of Poitiers also has some buildings in the centre of the city, which were historic bourgeois houses, where today some faculties teach classes. Among them are the faculties of Sociology, History, Art History and Archeology, Philosophy, Music, Information and Communication Sciences. There are also the University Institute of Technology and the Institute of Business Administration.
As in the rest of France, most of the university residences that you will find in Poitiers are managed by the public body called CROUS. This offers places to international students in different residences, although it is usually a very popular type of accommodation, so it can be difficult to find a place. For this reason, many of the young people prefer to rent a room in a private shared flat, to secure a place in advance.
