Hi everyone, I am moving to Bordeaux in August 2017 to study in Sciences Po. I am wondering if someone else is also struggling to make a decision about the housing. I don't know if I should choose the dorm or look for an appaertment. I would appreciate  any advices or messages from people in a similar situation :)

Hi!

I am moving to Bordeaux in august 2017 to study to become a sommelier. I have the same problem as Zosia! I want live in the central part of town, but I also want studentlife. Where are you looking for apartments?

Zosia Sikora Écrit il y a 7 ans

Hey, 

Do you consider living in a dorm? Cuz I think I'll apply for the dorm and if I won't like it I'll start looking for the apartment when I'm there. It's pretty hard to find something when you don't know the city :( 

Emmy Stiernblad Écrit il y a 7 ans

Yes! I want to live in dorm to meet people and such, what dorms are you applying to? I know its superhard find accomidation in august/ september when all the students arrive, so I think its best to book soon. Do you speak french?

Zosia Sikora Écrit il y a 7 ans

I'm gonna apply for the Sciences Po dorm in Pessac, it's called Village 3 or sth like this :D yeah it might be super hard to find anything in August or later on. I do speak French a little bit (B1), do you? 

Emmy Stiernblad Écrit il y a 7 ans

Sorry for answering late!

I understand some french, but my speaking and writing is non existing :( 

I have applied to two different flats that I will share with erasmusstudents, and I think I will get at least one of them! When will you arrive in august?

Zosia Sikora Écrit il y a 7 ans

That's alright :)

oh where did you find them? Are they expensive?

I think I'll arrive in the middle of August 

Emmy Stiernblad Écrit il y a 7 ans

I found them on appartager.com and lacartedescolocs.fr. Both are for people that looks for roommates! I have gotten many responses, the hard thing is that many people want you to move in in june or july, but I have fond housing in august:)

Do you know anyone in Bordeaux? I don't know anyone, I have heard that it hard to make friends with french people (since they are embarresed by their bad english) but very easy with other foreigners. 

Emmy Stiernblad Écrit il y a 7 ans

You will be able to get a room in a flat in the city center with other students for 400-600 euro/month. Are dorms expensive? Will you share the kitchen and bathroom with other students?

Hey everyone !
I'm Candy and I'm looking for an accomodation on Bordeaux with other international students... I come back from a year in Australia and I really wanna keep on meeting new people and speak english while I'm studying !
Would you be interested in sharing a flat or something? As I'm french, it might be easier for you if I can help you with all the loooong and boring paperwork haha ! I'm looking for something in South-Center Bordeaux, near Gare Saint Jean ! Let me know

Cheers !

Hello everyone! I'm an italian student. I'll do the second semester at the university of Bordeaux 2,  where I'll study enology. I don't know if it's better to search home in a flat or in the university campus. I speak a little bit of french and english.
