#alegessec

ESSEC will send you a Housing Pack through Allegessec. There are three residences that exchange students can stay at: Linandes, Hauts de Cergy, and Port. 

The Allegessec site has virtual tours of all of the available rooms. I’d highly recommend looking at these, as well as talking to anyone who previously stayed at a residence. There is also a map showing their locations across campus as well as their prices. I will be staying in a single studio at the Linandes Residence in Spring. 

After picking residence and room style you like, fill out the provided Housing Application, available in early December for the Spring semester. You’ll be asked to pick your top three residence/room style combinations. This is first-come-first-serve; do your research and apply as soon as possible. 

One big thing to note: you will need to pay a down of  €1187, or about $1500.  €590/$730 will be for a refundable security deposit. You’ll be asked for a credit card once you complete the application and will be charged a few days after you receive your placement.
