Accommodation

PDIS students enjoy a great deal of freedom regarding their accommodation in Saint-Étienne or the surrounding municipalities. While the standard rental market (studios, shared apartments, student residences) is plentiful, the school has also established a privileged partnership to facilitate its students’ move.

Habitat & Métropole Partnership: Le Néoz Residence

As part of the PDIS curriculum, a partnership with Habitat & Métropole allows students to access new housing within the Le Neoz Residence, located at 4 place de la Sainte Barbe in Saint-Étienne.

Ideally located, the residence is just 3 minutes from the T1 and T3 tram stops (Peuple-Gambetta station), providing direct access to the Centre for Biomedical and Healthcare Engineering.
