HOUSING
THE
TRAVELS
If you are looking for accommodation, you have two choices:
​
I Croix/Roubaix
Justnext to the campus, where EDHEC can offer you some options for living alone or with shared accommodation.
​
I Lille
In the heart of the city center and EDHEC life.
Many international students live inCross, because it is easier to get to school every morning and they can all be together in EDHEC residences. However, it should not be forgotten that Croix is more of a residential area. This is why most EDHEC students choose to live inLille(about 45 minutes from the EDHEC campus by metro/tram) in order to take full advantage of urban life, and in particular nightlife. Indeed, for example, the last metro departure from Gare Lille Flandres is around 00:30 on weekdays, which can be a hindrance for some people.
Of course, you can live between the two but we don't recommend it because you lose the advantages you can have in either of these situations: Croix for its proximity to the campus, and Lille for its proximity to the city center.
Here you will find a map made by theBDE(EDHEC Student Office) which delimits the most practical district of Lille, taking into account the proximity of the EDHEC "HQ" or more broadly the proximity of bars and nightclubs (rue Massena/rue Solferino) and security. THE "Snook" is the nightclub where EDHEC students go to party, and the "Solfe" is the bar where they usually meet.
