Health

Inside the EU, the health insurance from your home EU country is generally valid in all other EU countries. However, please make sure to contact your health insurer to verify that and get the free European Health Insurance Card (EHIC).

In France, social security is free and allows you to benefit from partial or total reimbursement of medical costs. In general, it allows you to receive reimbursement of up to 70%.

In addition, you can also subscribe to a private health insurance, called “mutuelle”. This is a paid service; it is not compulsory but highly recommended if you wish to be reimbursed for all of your medical expenses (the 30% missing from Social Security).

Third-party Liability (responsabilité civile)

This covers the renter for damage for which he or she may personally be held liable and for all damage to others for which he or she may be held liable (e.g.: flooding the neighbour’s flat). Guaranteed protection and legal assistance are included in «Civil liability».

Comprehensive home insurance (multirisque habitation)

This concerns damage to the renter’s property. The insurance is based on capital, meaning a quantified assessment of the insured party’s assets. This states the maximum amount that you are entitled to in the event of disaster.

In Toulouse there are several options for students to find accommodation. Typically, students either rent a flat or room on the private market or they live in student housing. Rents in the private market are often high and owners generally ask for guarantees, which is not always easy to provide, especially when you come from abroad.

Students can search for housing in many different ways. In Toulouse there are online housing platforms, homestays with a host family, private accommodation, shard flat, student residencies and more!

• Private accommodation: You can find private accommodation in Toulouse using different websites and agencies. Rental Agencies: with costs equivalent to approximately 1 month’s rent, often the fastest way to find an apartment. Private landlords: no extra costs, but the search can take longer than with an agency.
• Shared flats: Flatshares are very common in Toulouse and are an excellent way to meet new people upon your arrival.
• Student housing: Numerous student housing is available in Toulouse. Most student residences offer studio flats from around 20m2, that include common areas to share and meet other students.
• Homestays: Some students may enjoy living with a French family. This is possible through homestay providers.

Toul’Box : The Toul’Box is comprehensive tool offered by the Community of universities and establishment of Toulouse to support international students and researchers from the moment they plan their mobility to Toulouse until they arrive. It offers custom built packs and services, adapting to the specific requirements of each beneficiary to ensure a smooth and successful integration and arrival. With the assistance of a dedicated Toul’Box operator, the Toul’Box provides help in various areas including finding and reserving accommodation, handling administrative procedures, providing transport cards, arranging airport pick-up, and opening a bank account.

Housing Aids: In order to guarantee housing access to all, an aid system has been put in place by the French government. Depending on the type of housing, your income, and the makeup of your household, you may be eligible for financial aid designed to lower the price of your rent. Housing aid is managed by the Family Allowance Offices (Caisse d’Allocations Familiales (CAF).
