this was super helpful knowing that a lot of international students like me find it hard to imagine how big a 10m2 crous is
I had the same issue when I first move to france 3 years ago!!! good luck :)
Aw I stayed in Cuques during my semester abroad 🥺 was feeling nostalgic and wanted to see some Cite U tours, glad to see the same dorm pop up!
Ohmygosh your comment means the world to me, my friends and I absolutely ADORE your videos ! :D I noticed a while ago from your earlier videos/vlogs that we studied in the same city in France haha I moved away as well and its always nice to throw it back to little old sunny Aix 🥺
Subscribed! This video was great and you made such good use out of at 10m2 apartment 😍
When are you going to move to the uk so that you can do a british room tour ;) great video, the amount of shelf space is fab! X
what a DREAM!!
Hey…So great to see this video
I am planning to move to Reims in September 2022 and I wanted to know how we can book Crous residences? I am also planning for long term
Thanks. This was highly valuable.
Show us more videos like these
Like ur life in France ur daily routines
This was so helpful omg thank you!
great use for the amount of space you have. Nice
Thank you! Its definitely challenging not to feel super claustrophobic haha
Thank you for showing crous room😊
that was a beautiful dorm
It's so cute when you said "Aix en Provence" 🥰 I'm french !
Hahaha thank you ! 😂 I try !
Oh ! I am here too! I have the same student appartement! Are you Still live in cuques ?
Ahhh!!! That's amazing !!! Enjoy !! Aix is such a lovely city. I actually moved to Paris recently so I'm longer enjoying the sunny south ☀️
I will be moving to the CROUS in Rennes this september so it was nice to see what I could expect!
Are you able to bring visits to the appartment ?
Yes definitely! None monitors who you bring into the building or your room :)
May i know if the heater is included ? Friends can visit you overnight ?
Hello I am searching crous near grenoble university my course starts on September 4 I need to complete my Visa process so I need accommodation now .....when should I apply my crous apartment is it one month before .....what should I do to complete my visa process 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Hi! Thank you for the video!! I'm about to start my Master's in Paris in October, and I'm wondering about how to apply to CROUS. I know you can do it directly through their website, but my university send an email asking us to fill out a form if we were interested in these residences, and they never mention anything about us applying directly to CROUS. Do you know if the university can do the whole process for you? Because I'm starting to think I should start being more active on this matter.
Thanks in advance!!!
Hi. Did you find out the answer to this? I am also interested.
Such a lovely person... indeed. Hoping to see you anytime soon Perhaps
😃😃
Hello! Would like to ask how was the check in process for crous? Do they open on weekends for check in?
Thank you for the video.
I want to ask about access of drinking water in the student apartment. How much of light passes in the room during day time ?
I will be starting my doctoral studies in Grenoble in a couple of months and I am interested in crous' rooms. I was wondering, do you know if I can host external people in my room for some days?
Hi, this video was really helpful, thank you. I am planning to study in France, Rouen, more precisely:) , Starting from Jan-21. Do you think Joint Tenancy can be better than Crous?
The thing with crous is that 1. the cheapest housing you will find 2. they RARELY do not accept international students... this is a big deal because a lot of agencies and private landlords do not want to rent to international students. The crous is just all around an easier and cheaper process which is why I prefer it. But then again, I am living in France long term, and so it was important to me to be able to save a lot of money. If you have the flexibility then maybe joint tenancy can be fun! Just find a landlord that will accept international students :)
Get the margarita
Thank you so much... this information is really helpful. And yes my primary aim is to save some money, so yes Crous will be more appropriate. Thanks again:)
Thank for your valuable advice. Now as I have decided to stay in Crous instead of Joint tenancy, can you please help me with, how and when can I apply for Crous? I will be going to Rouen in Jan-21
Hey Arielle, great video! I have an urgent question and it would be great if you could respond...I will be staying in Aix-en-Provence this fall and I was wondering if Crous provides blankets and pillows in its rooms. Do you only have to bring your own bed linen? Thanks in advance! :)
Hey !!! ☺️ Oh gosh they provide nothing haha I had to buy everything... Pillows, sheets, blanket etc.... You can buy it second hand off of leboncoin.com or at IKEA !
@@Ariellelaparisienne Thank you for the quick answer, Arielle ❣
@Lara Croft Hi, thanks for your help! I'm in the student residence La Pauliane :)
@@juliachlebda5750 you are welcome
Pro full length mirror. Con shared kitchen
The crous I'm in doesn't have a full length mirror but my own kitchen
ah ! yes having my own kitchen would have been great, but sadly the only apartment they had available for me was a studio :/
merci pour la video cette année je vais aller au crous (cité de Cuques) à Aix
trop bien!!! Je suis sûr que ça va te plaire :)
@@Ariellelaparisienne Je suis dans le même cas, c'est pourquoi je me suis empressée de regarder la vidéo ! Merci beaucoup ! Ça m'a aidé à visualiser mon futur lieu de vie, mais aussi l'espace que je vais avoir !! Bonne continuation !
eeeek trop bien!
Hey! Awesome video. Could you recommend insurance that will be accepted by crous?
yes :) visale as a garant will be accepted and any french insurance will work as well. you have many to choose from ! MAIF, MAAF, AIXA ETC...
hi, I'm sorry but how does this work? you have a room and then a kitchen shared with other students, where you can cook wherever and whatever you want, just like you're in an apartment?
Hi !!! Sorry I don't show the kitchen in the video which is hindsight was silly haha if you look at my school vlog then you will see the kitchen !!! But yes, I had my room with a toilet and shower and then there was a communal kitchen ☺️
thank you very much! I'm planning on subscribing on parcoursup to study in Aix-en-Provence too, so this video was really helpful :)
I'm so glad ! You will LOVE aix, it's so beautiful ☺️
Hey, i got accepted in a 9m2 crous residence but I am worried I will feel drained, I feel like being around students all the time will make me upset hhhh just because I am a student and will be spending 3 days in uni around other students, coming home to my room will have the same environment. Correct me if I am wrong, and if you do not mind, share your thoughts about this subject and tell me how I can have a balanced life between crous, uni and my personal life .... Oh btw how big is the kitchen? do you have to wait to have an oven to cook your food? how much money did you spend on food? and how big is the laundry room? do we have to pay electricity and for wifi? do we have to have house insurance? if you don't mind answering all of these questions, you'll help me be prepared mentally hhhh, cool video btw keep up the good work
alrighty, so! first things first, if you want to see the kitchen i recommend you check out this video i made ("come to school with me") because in the intro, i show the CROUS kitchen : ua-cam.com/video/DBc3gZliUCE/v-deo.html
NOW to answer your questions:
- the kitchen is a good size, there are normally 6 chairs, 2 sinks, 1 microwave and 4 stove tops. There is 1 kitchen on each floor so you never have to cook with too many people.
- the laundry room is big and cheap! there are a lot of students though so i recommend AVOIDING the laundry room on sundays because it gets crowded haha
- food cost me approx 100 euros a week... this is expensive but when I moved into the CROUS i didnt have any containers so I couldnt store food - i definitely recommend buying some!
- wifi and electricity are included in the rent :)
- yes you have to pay for insurance! its not expensive thought, mine was 25 euros for the year!
Personally, I really loved staying at the CROUS because i saved SO MUCH money!!! its a lot less expensive than renting a room or apartment. I ddint find the balance hard to manage, when you are in the residence you are by yourself and its very quiet. I never had any noise problems like i did when I lived with roommates...
I hope this helps!!! let me know if there is anything else :D
@@Ariellelaparisienne Awesome thank you so much, you answered every single question so I apreciate that, I will for sure check the video now and again thank u loads. XD
How much 10 m2 /month?
I am pursuing for my undergraduation . Do crous provide this for undergrad students as well?
yes absolutely!!! the majority of students in CROUS are undergrad! :)
@@Ariellelaparisienne thanks
Thank you so much for sharing this. Could you please name your student residence? I'm coming to the IAE-AIX on Jan 2021, would be nice if I find good accomodation.
Google karle bhai hahahha
Yes! the residence featured in this video is called Cité Univ. CUQUES and i really recommend :) I also lived in another crous in Aix en provence called Cite Univ. Arc Meyran which was also great!! Best of luck!
@@Ariellelaparisienne This really helps! Thanks
Is there,at the university a mens basketball team?
ty ty ty ty ty.
hi friends
Hi!
Do you know if pets are allowed in CROUS?
HI :) it depends which type of CROUS you're in! For example, I was in a 9m2 room so i definitely wasn't allowed to have like a cat or dog lol but other CROUS are big apartments and i think in those cases you may be allowed. The best way to find out: send an email to the specific CROUS you're thinking of living in :)
@@Ariellelaparisienne I think pets are forbidden in every CROUS
Super vidéo! One question: can I work on my dossier to apply for Crous before the applying date? Or do I have to do on the date it opens up?
☺️
is there an age limi to live in the CROUS??
Hey girl how do you get on the waitlist? Greetings from Rennes !!!!
Hiii !! ☺️ You know... I was SO BAD I completely forgot to apply and just showed up at the dorm and asked to be put on the waitlist 😂 it worked out though, I was able to get something within 2 days ! They said that they prioritize international students and masters students so I think that's why I got placed so fast. Good luck !!
@@Ariellelaparisienne thank you so much for responding. I am paying 500 euros for my studio and I am having difficulty finding work with my limited hours and being a foreigner.
Im trying to reduce expenses
Oh no ! Ok well definitely go to the crous office in your city and get your file started ! :) Another tip I have for you is to apply for the CAF. Have you done this / heard of this ?
@@Ariellelaparisienne yes i already applied but as you already know French admin can be quite slow haha
Oh my gosh... MONTHS it took 3 months for my to get my first CAF support 🥲 good luck 🥺
How much is the rent??
250 euros!
How much this dormitory?
Is it RSA room for younger than 25yo in France?
no not at all! theyre for students, no matter what the age :) there are also some CROUS residences that accept renters with a low income who are not students! hope this help!
my Naina Mohammed
