How do I reserve a room or studio?

Steps to follow to reserve a room

1. Students who wish to reserve accommodation on he ENSTA Brest campus must apply online via the RDE reservation website.
2. A room reservation with the RDE cannot be confirmed until a deposit of €330 has been paid. However, this step does not guarantee that a room will be allocated.
3. Students will receive an individual response by email after submitting their accommodation request, specifying whether it has been accepted. The type of accommodation requested will be allocated based on availability.

During the school closure, from August 3 to 16, 2026, no rooms will be allocated. Applications (new or pending) will be processed starting August 17.

Check-in / Check-out: Key Pickup and Inventory Check

Upon your arrival on campus, if your application has been approved and you have received a confirmation email, the key will be available at the reception desk at the campus entrance (open 24/7).

An inventory check will be conducted upon both check-in and check-out. For the arrival inspection, the landlord will not be present. You are asked to complete the form and submit it within 48 hours of your arrival to office P003 or to the designated mailbox outside the office.

When you leave the residence, you must give one month’s notice to terminate the lease.

Cancellation of reservation

In the event of cancellation of the reservation, the student must notify the residence manager 8 days before the start date at ENSTA. Failure to comply with this instruction will result in a €50 penalty being charged on the reservation amount.

Housing assistance

Students may be eligible for housing assistance from the Family Allowance Fund (CAF). This assistance covers part of the monthly rent. The application form must be completed online on the CAF website. The student residence is a non-CROUS university residence.

• Submit your application as soon as you move into your accommodation. The date on which your application is submitted is the date on which your entitlement begins. You will not receive housing assistance for your first month's rent.
