ALEGESSEC - the ESSEC Business School Student Accommodation Association - makes rooms available to students at two residences: Les Linandes and Cergy-le-Haut.

All the information you need about ALEGESSEC and the residences is available at this address:

You can also rent a flat or a room in a house, or share a flat/house with other students ("collocation"). Classified ads can be found on:

• The ESSEC student website www.esseclive.com in the "pratique" part
• The website De Particuliers à Particuliers www.pap.fr
• The website www.seloger.com

Keep in mind that students in France are entitled to a housing subsidy called APL (aide personnalisée au logement). You must have a valid residence permit (for students from non-EU countries) and a copy of your birth certificate translated into French by a certified translator from your native country. To apply for APL, you need to address the CAF (Caisse d'Allocations Familiales) of the Val d'OIse department: either you apply on the internet or you can go to the CAF office in Cergy.
