Accommodation
Finding housing is a key milestone in student life, particularly in the Île-de-France region and on the French Riviera, where demand is high. Mines Paris – PSL, in collaboration with PSL and its partners, offers several solutions tailored to students’ needs and profiles.
An expanding portfolio: Aware of the challenges associated with student housing, Mines Paris – PSL relies on the support of its community to increase capacity and modernize existing spaces. Mines Paris Alumni and the Mines Paris Foundation play an active role in developing new solutions to support the School’s growth and improve students’ living conditions.
Paris Campus
The School, in collaboration with PSL and its partners, offers several housing options tailored to students’ needs and profiles, based on one principle: every student in the Civil Engineering Program is guaranteed housing during their first year at the Maison des Mines.
Maison des Mines
Colloquially known as the Meuh, the Maison des Mines is a place for living and community. Located a 7-minute walk from the Paris campus, it houses first-year students in the Civil Engineering program. Beyond a fully furnished room (bed, desk, closets, kitchen area), La Meuh offers a wealth of communal spaces: study rooms, a gym available at a nominal fee, a soundproof music room, shared kitchens, and social areas.
The “piauleurs”—second-year students—help organize roommates to foster integration and a positive atmosphere. The first few weeks of orientation take place right in the heart of the residence, which is also the hub of numerous club and social activities.
In addition to the Maison des Mines, students can apply for other options based on their academic record:
Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris (CIUP)
An international student housing campus featuring sports facilities, a library, and cultural spaces, with priority access for scholarship students.
