Centre régional des œuvres universitaires et scolaires


In higher education in France the Centres Régionaux des Oeuvres Universitaires et Scolaires (en: Regional Centers for University and School Activities) or CROUS, founded in 1955, are regional organisations providing student bursaries, university halls of residence, student restaurants, reception of foreign students, and student cultural activities.

Accommodation is offered in all university cities, such as Paris, Nantes, Lyon, Toulouse, Bordeaux, Montpellier, Besançon, etc. For instance, the Grenoble education authority helps students find accommodation in the university cities of Grenoble, Chambéry, Valence and Annecy.[1]
