Introducing Accommodation Services

La Rochelle Business School provides assistance for international students (exchange students under formal exchange agreements and foreign students) in finding accommodation in La Rochelle. If you would like us to help you reserve a room (either with a host family or in university residences) then you should return the Housing Application Form at least two months prior to the commencement of your study programme to the Business School Housing Office which will act as an intermediary with the private housing organisations involved.

You will be able to state your preference on the housing form and we will attempt to match your stated preferences (not guaranteed due to the limited number of rooms available at any given time). We strongly recommend that you apply for accommodation as soon as you are admitted to your programme as accommodation will be allocated on a strictly first come, first served basis. We reserve the right to place students in temporary housing (host family) until a regular student room is available.

You will receive a letter of offer as a pre-reservation directly from the housing organisation. You will have to return your confirmation of acceptance in writing together with a damages deposit(*1) or an advanced contract fee (*2). The offer of accommodation will be withdrawn if you do not confirm your acceptance within the stipulated time period and payment has been made.

Once you have confirmed your acceptance you are bound to the accommodation agreement and have to pay the rent for the months you have asked us to arrange accommodation for. This is subject to certain conditions in the case of a withdrawal from your course.
