Which neighborhood to choose based on your university?
Parisian universities and campuses are world-renowned. If you’re studying at La Sorbonne or Université Paris Cité, you might prefer living in the Latin Quarter, around Jussieu, or near the Luxembourg Gardens on the Left Bank. If you’re at Sciences Po, Saint-Germain is a great option, while Nation or Porte Dauphine could be ideal if you’re attending the university of the same name.
Not all campuses are in the heart of Paris—some are located in nearby cities like Saint-Denis or Nanterre. That’s why Colivys residences are strategically placed close to universities, ensuring you get the best location without compromising on comfort!
Key factors to consider before choosing your neighborhood:
- Commute time to your university
- Budget and affordability
- Proximity to shops and services
- Neighborhood atmosphere
- Public transport accessibility
- Space suited to the number of tenants
- Local amenities (restaurants, gyms, cafés, etc.)
Budget and financial aid – How much does coliving in Paris cost?
Financial considerations are crucial when starting your student life. To find the right accommodation in Paris, it’s important to explore your available options. At Colivys, we offer housing solutions tailored to different budgets.
Financial aid available for students
Are you a student on a tight budget? No worries—various financial assistance programs are available! Housing aid such as APL (the most common), ALF, or ALS can help reduce your rent costs. If you don’t have a guarantor, the Visale guarantee or specialized companies can be an option. Additionally, if you’re enrolled at a university, don’t forget to apply for a CROUS scholarship.
These financial aids are available under certain conditions and can make a real difference. Whether you’re a French or international student, you may be eligible! For more details, check out our article “APL and coliving: How does it work?“

Finding the perfect coliving space
At Colivys, we make your coliving search easier. Our platform features a variety of apartments and residences suited to different tenant profiles. To ensure a smooth housing search, here are our top tips!
Define your research criteria
- Make a list of your key criteria. Location, budget, neighborhood vibe, and transport accessibility are all essential factors to consider.
- Choose your search method. Whether you prefer visiting a real estate agency, using specialized websites, or going through direct owner listings, staying organized will save you time and boost your chances of success!
Optimize your research
Found a coliving space that caught your eye? Before making your final decision, go through this essential checklist:
- Overall condition of the apartment
- Included amenities and services in the rent
- Size of the space (ensuring it suits the number of housemates)
- Proximity to public transport
- Ease of communication with the landlord (it’s always better when they’re responsive to your questions before booking!)
- Coliving atmosphere (house rules, housemate profiles, etc.)

Practical and legal aspects of coliving
At Colivys, we handle all the administrative aspects to make your life easier. But before moving into your apartment or shared house, it’s good to be aware of the legal framework of coliving!
The different types of rental agreements
When it comes to shared accommodations contracts, there are several options:
- Individual lease for each tenant
- Joint lease with a solidarity clause, meaning all housemates are financially linked
- Subletting lease, where one tenant rents out to others
At Colivys, we have chosen an individual lease model. This ensures that tenants enjoy all the benefits of coliving without the extra constraints! Want to learn more about coliving contracts? Check out our detailed article on rental agreements in shared housing!
Rights and responsibilities of tenants
As a tenant and housemate, you have rights guaranteed by the landlord:
- A private space of at least 9m²
- Access to common areas of the apartment
- Use of amenities (WiFi, bathroom, gym, garden, etc.)
- Eligibility for housing aid (APL, ALS, ALF)
Living in a shared space also comes with responsibilities toward your housemates:
- Respect coliving rules. Learning to live together means respecting each other’s differences.
- Share common areas fairly. Even if the living room or bathroom is spacious, be mindful of your housemates’ space.
- Maintain your private space. Keeping your room clean benefits everyone.
- Contribute to a pleasant atmosphere. A positive environment makes coliving enjoyable!
You also have obligations toward your landlord:
- Paying rent. This must be done on a fixed monthly date as agreed in your contract.
- Respecting common spaces. As a tenant, you are responsible for keeping shared areas in good condition.
At Colivys, we do everything we can to ensure your peace of mind! Our team is always available to assist tenants, and we act quickly to resolve any issues or conflicts.
