See available studios →Looking for student housing in the centre of Limoges means aiming for the most convenient and most affordable area in the city. The studios and one-room flats in the centre make ideal student homes: walking distance from the faculties (Law, IAE, 3IL), the shops, the town hall (Hôtel de Ville, place Léon Betoulle) and the Bénédictins station, furnished or unfurnished, and eligible for housing benefit (APL / ALS).
Begip manages a large stock of student homes in central Limoges, from €280/month including charges, with fees reduced to €130 for students. Whether you're after a studio or a student flat, the city centre remains the best balance of budget, independence and proximity to the campuses. Several of these homes are in the town hall district — for instance on avenue Georges Dumas, a few minutes' walk from the Hôtel de Ville and the Law Faculty.
Living in the city centre means going without a car and long bus journeys: shops, restaurants, markets, libraries, gyms and student life are all a few minutes from home. And it is also the area with the gentlest rents in the city.
The centre of Limoges concentrates much of student life: it is where you find most of the cafés, music venues, cinemas and places to go out, but also the most affordable studios in the city. For a student in law, management, computer engineering or a prep class, no area is more convenient.
Several major faculties and schools are located right in the centre or a few minutes' walk away. Living in the centre means getting up later and coming home earlier.
The FDSE, right in the centre (rue Félix Eboué), teaches law, economics and management. Renowned for its international environmental law. A city-centre studio is the most practical option for law students.
The IAE (Institute of Business Administration), the university management school of Limoges, offers a bachelor's in economics and management and master's degrees in management, marketing, finance, HR, management control and entrepreneurship, right in the city centre. Its students favour a nearby studio, reachable on foot.
3IL trains engineers in computer science and digital technology (5-year), right in the city centre (rue Sainte-Anne). A central studio is ideal for its students, many of whom study on a work-study basis.
The Gay-Lussac and Léonard-Limosin lycées host the preparatory classes for the grandes écoles (science, humanities, business), in the heart of Limoges. Many prep students look for a quiet studio nearby.
Attached to the Faculty of Law, the IPAG prepares students for public-service entrance exams. Like the FDSE, it sits in the city centre — a nearby studio is the most logical solution.
Limoges has several private schools (business, management, IT, health — ECEMA, KEYCE, etc.) and lycée BTS courses, with campuses in or near the centre. A city-centre studio conveniently serves them all.
