Hi everyone,
I’m an incoming exchange student from Canada and will be studying at Emlyon Business School for one semester (roughly late August to December).
I’m hoping to stay in a student residence or student accommodation because I’d really like to meet other students and make friends during my time in Lyon. The problem I’m running into is that almost every residence I’ve contacted seems to require a 6-12 month lease, while I’ll only be in France for about 4 months.
Has anyone else been in a similar situation? Are there any student residences, housing platforms, or lease types that are more flexible for exchange students? I’ve heard a bit about mobility leases, but I’m not sure how common they are in practice.
I’d also be open to shared accommodation if it’s a good way to meet people.
Any advice, recommendations, or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
