If this is not the case, you can have two guarantors: each one of them must provide proof of income equivalent to 3 times the rent, including charges. If you don't have any physical guarantor, you can go through an organization such as Garantme or Visale.

• Renting an apartment in Paris proper or in the near suburbs: which option to choose?

The choice depends on your budget, your school or workplace, and your lifestyle.

- Furnished apartment rental in central Paris: accommodation in Paris puts you in close proximity to schools, businesses, and entertainment venues. Rents are higher, but you'll benefit from an extensive public transportation network.

- Apartment rental in the Île-de-France region, near the suburbs (e.g., Boulogne-Billancourt): often a quieter setting, sometimes more spacious apartments for a similar budget, and quick access to the capital via metro and RER.

YouFirst Campus student and young professional residences offer both options, depending on your needs.

• Are residences for young professionals and students in Île-de-France well served by public transport?

Yes. YouFirst Campus student and young professional residences are located near metro, RER, tram, and bus stations, making your daily commute to school or work easier.
Renting an apartment in Paris's 15th arrondissement, in the Paris Lecourbe student and young professional residence, for example, puts you just a few minutes' walk from metro lines 6 and 12. While the metro doesn't always serve every area in the inner suburbs, our residences in Boulogne-Billancourt and La Défense, for instance, are strategically located, right next to bus, RER, and tram lines.

The Île-de-France region has one of the densest public transportation networks in Europe, allowing for quick connections between Paris and the suburbs. Details of transportation options, as well as travel times to major schools and employment areas, are available on each residence's information page.

• Do the YouFirst Campus student and young professional residences accept international students?

Yes, YouFirst Campus student and young professional residences welcome both French and international students. Whether you're arriving for an Erasmus exchange, an academic exchange, or an internship, you can reserve student accommodation in the Île-de-France region from your home country.

Depending on your situation, the process may include:

- A French guarantor or a Visale guarantee (available to international students).

- Supporting documents translated if necessary.

- Assistance from your YouFirst Manager with your settling-in process (bank account, CAF benefits, transportation).

The mobility lease (1 to 10 months) is often preferred for international exchanges and short-term internships.

• What is daily life like in a YouFirst Campus residence for students and young professionals?

Depending on the residence, common areas can facilitate interaction:

- Lounge: for meeting up and chatting.

- Coworking space: for working in a group or alone, outside your apartment.

- Gym: for exercising without an external membership.

- Organized events: parties, workshops, and social gatherings, depending on the residence.

Renting an apartment in Boulogne-Billancourt, within the Boulogne Bellevue residence, for example, gives you access to a coworking space and a fitness area.

You maintain your independence in your apartment rental in the Île-de-France region, while enjoying a true community life.

• Traditional university residence or YouFirst Campus residence for students and young professionals: what are the differences?

- A mixed community: students + young professionals (apprentices, interns, permanent employees), fostering enriched interactions and a less monolithic environment.

- A variety of apartment formats: furnished studios in Paris or the suburbs, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, three-bedroom apartments, or shared accommodation, adapted to each stage of life.

- Integrated services: coworking space, gym, lounge, relaxation areas.

- Flexible leases: 9-month student lease, 1- to 10-month mobility lease, standard furnished lease.

- Dedicated support: a YouFirst Manager available on-site, by phone, or online, going beyond simple security duties.

A solution designed for 18-30 year olds, whether they are studying, starting their career, or combining both.
