Colivys and UCLy (Université Catholique de Lyon) are formalizing their strategic partnership for student housing access in Lyon. This collaboration aims to offer a stable, turnkey, and affordable coliving solution for students at the Lyon university.
UCLy: A renowned educational excellence
A historic higher education institution founded over 150 years ago in 1875, UCLy welcomes 12,000 students, including 2,300 international students, across its 3 campuses:
- Lyon, Carnot campus and Saint-Paul campus
- Annecy
The university, a major educational hub in the Lyon region, offers over 130 programs in philosophy, social sciences, literature, biotechnology with ESTBB, law, business, and management.
Colivys x UCLy: An answer to the need for reliable housing
The partnership between Colivys and UCLy aims to optimize support for French and international students in their housing search. By relying on a reliable and sustainable partner, UCLy can absorb the peaks in demand specific to the academic start-of-term periods in the Lyon metropolitan area, which is increasingly dense and competitive.
The alliance between Colivys and UCLy revolves around key objectives:
- Guaranteeing a quota of coliving accommodations and furnished rooms each year reserved for UCLy students with more affordable application fees.
- Offering a turnkey solution (all-inclusive rent—including rental charges, internet, and home insurance, as well as a furnished room) for the 2,300 international students and students coming from other regions newly arrived in Lyon, who are often disadvantaged by the high rental competition in the Lyon market.
Colivys is proud to contribute to the UCLy student experience by facilitating the settling in of its future tenants.
