Looking for student accommodation in an unfamiliar city at the end of August for a September start? That wasn’t part of the plan!

Yes, because you had planned to study in Lille with all your friends, but in the end you got accepted in Marseille! Well, maybe your best friends Églantine and Louis-Philippe won’t be there, but at least there’s sunshine!

But when you’re searching with a tight deadline in a totally unknown place, it can really be a headache!

We discovered Studylease, and we recommend the site!

What is it?

It’s simple, it’s a free website that makes it easier for students to access accommodation—yes, for students!

With more than 45,000 properties dedicated to students, you can easily search by city or by school, according to your budget and the date you plan to move in!

Not bad, right?

And that’s not all!

With Studylease, you’re guaranteed to access your student accommodation super easily!

Why?

Once you’ve registered on the site, you upload your documents to create your application, and they take care of sending it to the relevant organisation; no need to travel (great, you can watch Netflix for longer!).

You can even submit up to 5 applications at once!

Then, you get a response within 2 to 3 days, the contract is sent to you, you sign it, and that’s it! Job done—or rather, time to start thinking about your suitcase!

Yes, because the next step is moving in!

Student accommodation search—and more!

Oh yes, I almost forgot—because Studylease is a pretty cool service, you get access to a dedicated phone number so you can talk to a real person about your search!

And also (there’s always more!), the site makes things easier for people without guarantors, which is great!

You’ll find loads of great tips and useful information, like articles on “Choosing the Right Bank”, “The Student Social File”, “Housing Benefits”, and more.

I see you, you’re wondering where the link is?

PS: When you realise that your colander and those two pillows won’t fit in your suitcase, remember to post your ad on Cocolis to have them delivered cheaply 😉
