Student life in Montpellier

A city of higher education on a human scale

With more than 70,000 students, Montpellier is one of France's most popular study destinations. And there's a good reason for this: it's home to a number of renowned institutions, including theUniversity of Montpellier,Paul Valéry University, the Faculty of Medicine and a number of higher education establish ments (architecture, business, engineering, etc.).

This high concentration ofhigher education establishments has given rise to a dynamic atmosphere and a real student district in each university zone: the Saint Eloi district, the route de Mende, the city center and the southwest of the city. It's also a city with a wide range ofstudent accommodation on offer, from independent studios to more convivial shared flats, as well as fully-equipped T1, T2 or T3 apartments in modern student residences.

Young, well-served neighborhoods

Each student district has its own style and assets. The Saint Eloi district, for example, is perfect for those studying at the Faculty of Medicine or Paul Valéry University. Very green, well served by the tramway, it's quiet without being boring.

If you're looking for a more contemporary area, opt for Port Marianne, a recent eco-built district, where you'll find numerous student residences such as Campus Millenium or even Kley Montpellier.

As for the historic center, you'll love its cobbled streets, ancient facades, fine arts, terraces and the legendary Place de la Comédie. All this just a stone's throw from tramway lines 1 and 4, ideal for getting to university in just a few minutes on foot.

And if you prefer to get away from the hustle and bustle, the city's northwest and southwest districts offer a more residential setting, with good value for money, ideal for finding budget accommodation.

All this contributes to the balance between study and well-being that is so precious during your university years.

The TAM (Transports de l'Agglomération de Montpellier) network offers a modern, fast tramway, with lines serving all student districts and residences: from the Saint Eloi district to Port Marianne, via Place de la Comédie and the Faculty of Medicine. And it's FREE!

Lines 1, 3 and 4 pass through key areas of Montpellier, and take you to the university, the city center, the Odysseum shopping center and even the beach (yes, yes). The north-western district, the Route de Mende and the south-western part of the city are also well connected.

Soft mobility: cycling and walking

If you're more of an environmentalist at heart (and a sporty one at that), Montpellier is also a pleasant city to explore on foot or by bike. Numerous cycle paths link the city's campuses and districts such as Antigone, Millénaire and the banks of the Lez, and the Place de la Comédie is car-free.
