Students can get information from the Bureau des Logements et Restaurants Universitaires (BLRU) which rent rooms, studios, and small apartments to students.
Alternative accommodation in the form of standard University style halls is available from the Cité Universitaire. Unlike British universities, priority is not given to first year students, and Swiss students also apply for such accommodation as it is so cheap. As such, you'll find yourself living with 3rd and 4th years and a lot of international students.
Tip: Write off early for application forms from the Cité as numbers are limited. Forms usually have to be received by midsummer.
