Accomodation
The Crous of Orléans-Tours is a partner organisation of the University of Orléans that, among other services, offers student accommodation. You may apply for Crous housing from July 8, 2025.
However, the Crous cannot accommodate all students due to a large number of applications.
As a result, we strongly encourage you to start looking for alternative accommodation solutions as early as possible, in order to avoid housing difficulties upon your arrival at the University of Orléans. Indeed, the Crous will most likely not be able to meet your request at the start of the academic year, as all accommodation will already have been allocated.
You will find below a list of student housing options that are alternatives to Crous accommodation:
