Polytech Marseille is located in two major university clusters, home to a large number of students in a variety of establishments (faculties, IUT, business schools, engineering schools, architecture schools, fine arts schools, etc.). These centers boast all the infrastructure required for student life.

Before looking for accommodation, check the location of your course: Château-Gombert, Saint Jérôme (Marseille Nord), or Luminy (Marseille Sud).

There are several options for accommodation:

  • University residence
  • Youth hostels
  • Emergency accommodation
  • Shelter
  • Hotel
  • Renting in a senior citizen's home
  • Private rental apartment
  • Host family
  • Co-location
  • Housing, scholarships and mobility assistance through CROUS

    Students can still apply for grants and/or housing by creating their student social file (DSE ) directly on the government's My Student Services website.

    The deadline for submitting and modifying housing applications is 08/31/2024.

    Baccalauréat holders in receipt of a lycée scholarship who have definitively accepted an offer of admission outside their academy of residence can benefit from Parcoursup mobility aid worth €500. Applicants concerned can apply online via the etudiant.gouv.fr portal from July 8, 2024.

    After the online application, the file will be processed once the administrative registration has been completed at the institution. The first payments will be made at the beginning of September.

    An FAQ on the DSE is available for high school students, as is a file on all the steps to take to prepare for the start of the new academic year on etudiant.gouv.fr.

  • Aix-Marseille University's Housing Service, in partnership with Studapart

    Aix-Marseille Université has set up a platform to help you find accommodation. Numerous offers from private landlords, student residences and real estate agencies around the campuses are grouped together on this housing platform, which is updated daily. A multilingual support team is on hand to help you find and book your accommodation.

    Log in with your University intranet login by clicking on "Student Login" and then on "Log in with Intramu".

    Please note: no deposit is required for foreign students.

  • Finding accommodation in a hall of residence

    Applying for CROUS accommodation

    CROUS offers affordable student accommodation and rooms. These accommodations are often in university halls of residence. The advantage is that you'll be living close to your school's campus. Please note that students must first set up a dossier social étudiant (DSE) between January 15 and May 31 on the Mes services étudiant website, then click on "Trouver un logement".

    The Crous provides accommodation for students with and without grants, subject to availability.

    Finding accommodation with the Association Sortie d'Amphi

    The Sortie d'Amphi association helps you find student accommodation in Marseille and gives you all the information you need to ensure a smooth start to the new academic year.

  • Finding accommodation with Réseau Polytech and ImmoJeune

    The Polytech network has signed a partnership agreement with the ImmoJeune group to provide housing rental ads for Polytech students. To do this, you need to create a profile on the Réseau Polytech ImmoJeune website, and then access the network's listings. The Immojeune site has created a guide for you and another guide for owners wishing to publish their ads.

  • Visale system (ex. Clé - Caution Locative Etudiante Lokaviz )

    Action Logement's new Visale scheme replaces the former Clé assistance from Crous, but does not take on the role of home insurance, which is compulsory for all accommodation. The Visale scheme is a guarantee service for students under 30, with or without grants. This free guarantee covers the landlord for unpaid rent for 3 years of the lease, up to a maximum of €1,200 including charges. This "guarantor" is mandatory for most property rentals, and must be provided when the rental management file is drawn up(example file). The file has been entirely dematerialized, from application to receipt, to facilitate processing time (2 working days). Good to know: you need to take these steps before you sign your rental lease. Once you've signed it, don't forget to take the usual steps to open your EDF, gas, water and internet connections, so that everything is up and running.

  • Exceptional assistance from CROUS

    To help students cope with the difficulties they face, the Crous d'Aix-Marseille and the government have set up a new range of exceptional grants available on the Crous d'Aix-Marseille website. You'll find assistance for everyday needs such as housing and transport, as well as help with taking your driving test. For the latter, you can find out how to take your driving test and revise for the exam, with documents available free of charge in university libraries.

    Please note: due to problems with fraud, you will under no circumstances be asked to pay application fees via the Internet or by credit card. If you notice any problems with your bank card after paying at a payment terminal, please consult the Perceval government website to find out what steps to take.

University restaurants and cafeterias are part of the Crous. Practical, fast and economical, university catering is within everyone's reach.

Cafeterias offer fast food with a wide choice of sandwiches, salads, pasta boxes, drinks and snacks, as well as breakfast formulas.

Payment methods

Izly and bank cards are the only means of payment in university restaurants and cafeterias. No cash payments.

Izly is the payment method used in university restaurants and cafeterias on the Aix-en-Provence, Marseille and Avignon campuses, as well as on all campuses in France. Student cards and cards issued by the Crous (students whose school does not issue a student card) are linked to a personal online account.

It is this online account that will be debited when you check out at the Resto U or cafeteria, on presentation of your card or smartphone.

University, IUT and engineering school students: Once you have registered with your university, you will receive an e-mail on your ENT to activate your Izly account. For other students, the Izly account activation e-mail is sent to your personal mailbox.

Reloading your Izly account

You can top up your Izly account by bank transfer, credit card or at Izly top-up terminals in university restaurants. If you have a problem with your card, you can download the Izly application, which will enable you to pay at the cash register using a QR code, and also recharge your account.
