Montpellier Travel Forum

My son will be going to a university in Montpellier beginning this fall. He will be there for one or two semesters. Colin is looking for a family to live with. He is 21, an education/vet science major, does not drink, smoke, or eat meat. Colin currently goes to USFQ in Quito, Ecuador. He is absolutely fluent in Spanish and English. He can teach baseball, or basketball to kids. Is willing to exchange child care/tutoring for a realistic room and board situation. He really wants to live with a family and participate with the parents and children. He does not just want to be in a room that a family rents to him, if you understand my meaning. Thanks for your help.

Firstly, contact the university. They should have a student lodging service already in place and are probably the most knowledgeable about appropriate housing opportunities.

Secondly, there are several websites that help students find accommodations (in French only):

1. www.cal.fr
2. www.espace-etudiant.com

These are private agency student housing facilities:

3. www.abitel.com
4. www.campusdebissy.com
5. www.gestrim.com

Thanks for the help.
