Living near the Faculty of Sciences and Technology
The Faculty of Sciences and Technology (FST) of Limoges sits on the La Borie campus (123 avenue Albert Thomas), west of the city. It's the main science hub of Limoges, bringing together — in one area — the science faculty, the IUT du Limousin and the STAPS sports-science programme. Good news for housing: a single neighbourhood serves all of these courses.
For a student in maths, computer science, physics, chemistry, biology, earth sciences or STAPS, the priority is being close to the lecture halls and labs — especially on long days and lab sessions. Begip, a Limoges agency for over 35 years, manages the closest housing to the campus: two dedicated student residences, plus independent studios in town for those who prefer their autonomy.
