As for each student city, a student can choose to rent an apartment for the duration of these studies. However, in Lannion, there is a CROUS. In France, the regional centres for university and school works (Crous) are public administrative institutions mainly responsible for social assistance, international student reception, student housing, university catering and student cultural life. The rooms are 9m² but this makes it possible to pay less and to be directly connected to the ITU.
