Finding accommodation in a new city can often be stressful.
Here are some tips to help you in your search. Whether in Marseille or in another city, ask yourself about the desired location. Do you want to be close to your university or campus, the city center, the park, leisure activities?
Also, set a budget that you want to reserve for your accommodation. It is possible that student accommodation in the city center is more expensive than those further away.
You can book your future accommodation on special platforms for this type of search, such as Studapart or Immojeune.
However, the easiest way is to book your accommodation directly on our website. You can choose to send a file or simply submit a contact request. Following this, the residence manager will contact you as soon as possible.
In order to find the accommodation that suits you, we suggest that you compare the average monthly price of the city with that of our GSA Resid residences for all of our residences.
The studios in our Phocéene residence start at €399 per month.
All GSA Resid accommodation is eligible for personalized housing assistance (APL).
They all have the criteria defined in order to benefit from it.
To obtain one of these aids, you can ask the nearest Family Allowance Fund for a form and return it completed, dated and signed.
You can also go to the CAF website: www.caf.fr and apply directly online.
The allowance is paid from the first day of the calendar month following the one in which the conditions for opening rights are met.
The APL is paid directly to the owner who then deducts it from the amount of rent requested from the tenant.
The amount of this aid may vary depending on:
• The person’s resources from the previous year,
• Their family situation,
• The nature of their accommodation,
• Their place of residence,
• The number of children or dependents,
• The amount of rent or reimbursements.
