Bobigny: what the neighbourhood is like
Bobigny is one of the towns most directly reshaped by the Grand Paris Express — line 15 is planned here — after years of continuous urban renewal. But the immediate draw for a student is simpler: the town hosts the IUT and the health campus of Sorbonne Paris Nord, with a direct metro 5 line into Paris.
Everyday amenities cluster around Pablo-Picasso: the prefecture, the Bobigny 2 shopping centre, a market, a conservatory, a library. The Canal de l'Ourcq offers a continuous walking and cycling route towards Pantin and Parc de la Villette — useful if you want somewhere to run or work outdoors in spring.
Tramway T1 rounds out the connections towards Saint-Denis and Noisy-le-Sec. All told, three structuring transport lines for a rent several hundred euros below a comparable Paris address.

Frequently asked questions
Can I share a T3 here with flatmates?
Yes — Stud en Ville is one of only two residences in the network offering three-room units (the other is Nouvelle Seine in Bezons). T3 units go early in the booking season, often by May, so it's worth asking about availability sooner rather than later.
What's the real cost after housing benefit?
Roughly €250-280/month in APL for a student with no income, bringing the monthly cost to about €420-450. This is an estimate; the CAF alone determines actual entitlement, and in a shared T3 each flatmate typically claims on their own share.
How far is it to Sorbonne Paris Nord?
About five minutes to the health campus and IUT in Bobigny, with no change. For the Villetaneuse campus, allow around fifteen minutes via tramway T1.
How does the energy rating compare with other Bobigny residences?
It's the best of the three Bobigny addresses: 91 kWh/m²/year, against 110 at Campus Lola and 113 at Le Twins. Charges are included regardless, so this affects comfort rather than your bill.
What's the difference between the three Bobigny residences?
All three sit on metro line 5. Campus Lola is cheapest (€676), Le Twins has the strongest T2 offering (€702), Stud en Ville is the only one with T3 units and the best insulated (€700). The choice comes down to room type, not location.
What's included in the rent?
Water, electricity, heating, fibre, upkeep of shared areas and waste collection tax. You'll still need mandatory renter's insurance (about €6/month) and a deposit of one month's rent excluding charges.
