AGS Now Offers Dedicated Student Housing

AGS now has dedicated housing available for its students, with 30 fully renovated studios or one-bedroom units in a modern apartment building located in the upscale 16th arrondissement of Paris.

This new development was decided by AGS make it easier for its students to move and settle in Paris. The French capital, like most European capitals, is known for having a challenging housing situation, with, often, long searches and a lot of competition of future tenants. In addition, due to the French laws that are very protective of landlords, many documents and guarantees are required from the tenant, which can make it complicated to obtain the right to rent an apartment. While AGS has had extensive – and successful - experience in helping students to navigate through this system, having dedicated housing will allow for even greater flexibility and efficiency.

“Very few Parisian institutions in Paris can offer their own housing to students, especially in the heart of Paris,” says Alexis Delabre, Chairman of the Board of AGS, who initiated this project through a partnership with Fondation Alliance Française. “This option will not only facilitate the housing situation of our students, it will also contribute to enhancing the sense of community among AGSers.”

The building is located on rue de Musset, a small and quiet residential street a block away from the larger tree-lined Avenue de Versailles, which has all of the stores and cafés for a perfect Parisian life. This neighbourhood is known for being safe and pleasant, with a good combination of quietness and liveliness. It is within walking distance to the famous Marché d’Auteuil open-air farmer’s market (10 minutes), the Bois de Boulogne park for a daily jog (10 minutes), and the banks of the Seine river, and 30 minutes door-to-door to school by metro or tramway.

The 30 apartments are all equipped with a bathroom, a kitchenette, and Wifi. A lot of attention is being put into the furnishing, which is underway, so that all apartments are as welcoming as the school.
