I have already done my Erasmus at this school in 2011/2012 so I already know a lot about the school/area/accomodation etc. If you have any questions about the place feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer them.

Hey Krystelle!
There are a couple of options you could consider on campus. There are 2 different visiting student residences at Kedge. One is located just beside the main campus and the other is located just down the road on the secondary campus at Vaufreges.
http://www.estudines.com/residence-logement-etudiant-marseille-8-50.html
Estudines is located just by the entrance to the main campus. It is much nicer than the other residence but it's also more expensive.
The other option is the Alotra residence which is located 2-3 bus stops away from the main campus. It's nowhere near as nice as Estudines but it is a little cheaper and it is where all of the Erasmus parties start.
If you have your heart set on sharing an appartment with others then you should check out the sites below:

http://www.leboncoin.fr/colocations/offres/provence_alpes_cote_d_azur/?f=a&th=1&location=Marseille%2013008
Just be aware that depending on where you end up finding a appartment, you could be looking at 20+ minute bus journey every morning to get to class. Kedge is not located near the city centre.
If you've any other questions don't hesitate!

When I mean it's located right next to the campus I really mean it. There's one building that is located about 10 feet from the entrance to the school and another where you have to climb a small hill to get to the entrance. The main 21 bus line is right at the bottom of this hill so there's no problem regarding the bus. I haven't a clue about the electricity. Usually most of the banks in France offer students free housing insurance if you sign up with them. I'm not sure about the Housing Tax but I'm pretty sure there aren't any other fees.
The other advantage of the Alotra residence is that you only have to pay for Housing Insurance. Everything like heat and electricity are inculed in your rent.

Hello =)
My Name is Isabell, I am 22 years old, coming from germany. At the moment I do my masters in biomedical engineering. I am planning to do an Erasmus Placement (internship) for the semester 15/16 at the CPPM in Marseille. Actually I want to be in marseille starting from the french-language course in the end of august.
I really would like to get in contact with you guys !
And I didnt plan aything concerning accomodation yet, so if you need a roommate to organise a shared flat or so on, then feel free to contact me =)
What about the bus from luminy to the city center, is there a good connection ? The fact that I have to work at CPPM in Luminy every day forces me into the direction of living at CROUS, or is it worth it to pay a higher rent and live in the city center ?
Is someone planning to live in a dormintory in Luminy ?

Hello Isabell,
If you are going to be studying in Luminy then it would defintely be better to stay at CROUS in Luminy. The bus connection between the city and Luminy is quite good. The #21 bus will be your friend whilst there. There are plenty of buses but it can take up to 20 mins to get from the city centre to get to Luminy. Also France is famous for strikes so if the buses are not in service you will not have a way of getting to class that day. The CROUS residence is located right beside the university so you can hop out of bed and straight to class so in my opinion that would be much better than having to get up super early to catch the bus into class. The accomodation won't be great but you won't be paying that much for it so it evens out.

Hey, does someone know how long does housing applications take to me answered ? I'm studying at Kedge Business School. I guess my application was a little bit late, but if no places are offered to me at Alotra or Estudines, do you guys recommend some other place which is close, cool and that english is accepted (note I don't speak french at all),
thanks
