Accommodation :
For students at the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne, the Department of External Relations and International Development at URCA notifies CROUS about students applying for accommodation. CROUS then sends an accommodation application to complete (do not send it a second time if you have already done it yourself).
The rooms in university halls of residence, also called cités U, are managed by CROUS (Regional Student Accommodation Centres). This is the most economical type of student accommodation. These residences are primarily intended for students with low incomes. There are several residences located in the different districts of Reims, Troyes, Châlons-en-Champagne and Charleville-Mézières. You will find the map of halls of residence with a presentation of each of them here

International Office :

In tandem with other services and external partners, it offers various activities and events to facilitate their integration (Integration Week, International «celebrating cultures» student day, Cinema club with cult movies every month, etc.).
