Rouen, the pearl of Normandy for an Erasmus student in Rouen! An ideal destination for international students looking for a memorable experience. If you choose to study in Rouen, whether as an international student or as part of an exchange program like Erasmus, you’re in for an extraordinary adventure.

Student Place is here to help you make the most of your stay. With an increasingly diverse and dynamic student community, Rouen is the ideal place to meet students from all over the world and forge lasting friendships.

I’d better warn you right away, Rouen is a city on a human scale, much smaller than cities like Lille or Paris. It’s best to be prepared and have some savings aside if you want to get moving during your stay.

Rouen is a great city to live in, and the cost of living is quite reasonable. Expenses may vary depending on your lifestyle, but here is an estimate of average monthly costs for a student in Paris:

• Accommodation: between 300 and 600 euros
• Food: between 150 and 200 euros
• Transport: approx. 30 euros
• Leisure: approx. 100 euros

This means you’ll need to budget at least 500 euros a month to live in Rouen. However, there are ways of reducing these costs, such as looking for shared accommodation or buying cheaper groceries from discount supermarkets.

The search for Erasmus accommodation in Rouen can be difficult, especially for foreign students. Here are a few tips to help you find the perfect home:

• Start your search as early as possible, preferably before 3 months before your arrival in Paris.
• You’ll find that there are plenty of student rooms available in university residences.
• Use specialized websites such as Student Place and social networks to find accommodation.
• Contact student associations for help.

Rouen is a lively city, but not as lively as the major French metropolises. You’ll still have plenty of opportunities to enjoy yourself. There are bars, clubs, cafés, restaurants, cinemas, theaters, museums and much more. Here are some ideas for enjoying Rouen’s nightlife:

• The most popular clubs are located in Rouen city center. You’ll find plenty of electronic music and dance clubs.

• Erasmus parties are not very popular in Rouen. You can find out about upcoming events on the Erasmus Place in Rouen.

If you’re coming from a distant country, air travel is generally the most practical means of transport. The nearest airport to Rouen is Paris-Charles de Gaulle (CDG), around 120 kilometers from Rouen. Once you arrive at Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport, you can take a direct train from the airport station to Rouen station, which takes around 1h30.

It is also possible to fly domestically from Paris to Rouen-Vallée de Seine airport, but flight options may be limited.

You can easily visit Normandy and Brittany, Giverny, the Loire castles, Champagne, the Côte d’Azur, Belgium and Amsterdam.
