Thankfully, the vast majority furnished apartments in Montpellier come already equipped with washing machines - giving you one less thing to worry about. If, for whatever reason, an apartment you have your eye on doesn’t state whether it has a washing machine, it’s best to check with the landlord.

Student Accommodation in Montpellier

The city of Montpellier is home to two universities. Which university you study at will more than likely have little impact on which student residence that you choose. Both are close to the most popular student districts.

The biggest and most recognisable is the University of Montpellier. Located at the edge of the city centre, near the Jardin des plantes de Montpellier, it is one of France’s best places to study. One of the most popular areas to live as a student studying at UM is in the Beaux Arts district. Close to the vibrant nightlife, and cheap eateries, it’s a great place to meet new friends, and experience the culture of the area.

The other university in the city is the Univesité Paul Valéry. Close to the CHRU Hôpital Saint Eloi, it is further away from the city centre than the University of Montpellier. Despite this, it is still just a 30min walk away from the Beaux Arts district. Another area to consider is Aiguelongue. It might not be as lively as Beaux Arts, but it is slightly closer. Most students will want to position themselves in Beaux Arts however, as it is in this area where you can really experience university life.
