YouFirst La Defense | Spring 2025

PARTNER STUDENT residence, available to all students

As Paris’ metropolitan business district, the La Défense neighborhood has everything to offer residents. A bustling neighborhood just on the outskirts of the city, residents will have everything at their fingertips, from bars and restaurants to a shopping mall and cinema. Residents have the best of both worlds, as they can enjoy living on the outskirts of the city, all the while having easy access to central Paris.

In the north of the La Défense neighborhood, the Paris la Défense YouFirst student residence offers a unique location just a short walk from la Défense business district and a quick metro ride from the heart of Paris. The residence has a vibrant, colorful, smart-design atmosphere: it is fully equipped, and includes a selection of cozy communal areas for meeting up, sharing and exchanging with other students living in the space. Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ has partnered with YouFirst to offer students single studios in their la Défense residence. Our partnership with YouFirst provides a housing option in a residence with a diverse student population in the heart of the bustle and excitement of La Défense.

THE Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ INSIDER TIP:Ìý

Our YouFirst option allows you to slip into the shoes of the French college student – it is the traditional experience of living in a student residence, but one with great amenities and modern design. La Défense, while still inside Paris, is not as centrally located as some of our other housing options, but is still within a quick metro ride of the University – however if you want to burst the Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ bubble and meet a diverse group of students, both French and international, who are discovering the city just as you are, YouFirst is the perfect place to do so.
