A student residence where life is good

Located in the heart of the campus, the student residence (RDE) has nearly 200 rooms. Just three minutes from the classrooms, it offers a pleasant and secure living environment for all residents.

Work in progress:

A major renovation project is underway at the student residence, with the aim of converting all single rooms into studios equipped with kitchenettes and bathrooms. The number of available rooms is reduced as a result.
