Pau, a booming student city

 

Pau is a French city located in the south of the country, in the Pyrénées-Atlanitiques department. It has about 77,000 inhabitants. It is a city that seeks to develop. It becomes lively thanks to its student population which accounts for 7%. The city sees its student population increase every year. It houses plazas, cinemas, numerous parks and access to Spain.

It’s a city that is very well served. It offers travel by train, bus, and allows a direct connection with TER. It is located 2h10 from Bordeaux by TGV, 2h30 from Toulouse. Pau is also a city that is trying to introduce environmental measures. It has many natural assets with parks and gardens, green spaces.
 
The status of a student city is a real asset for Pau, both demographically and economically. Schools and universities in Pau are the source of many jobs in the metropolitan area.

One in two students is looking for a studio or a T1 for their student accommodation
 

For the majority of these students, or 58%, the choice is made for a studio or a T1 apartment. 15% of students tend to prefer 2-room apartments (T2). 20% of students choose to live in a shared flat in Pau. Roommates also concern T3. Only 8% are looking for homestay accommodation.


 

What type of accommodation should you choose to stay in Pau?

 

Flatshare in Pau is a great success
 

Flatshare is increasingly demanded by students from the city of Pau. 20% of students from Pau are in shared accommodation against 21% in the rest of France on average. A quarter of the students who leave the family home immediately turn to shared accommodation. This way of living allows students to live in larger, better equipped and better quality housing. It’s a way to be less isolated. And this for a lower cost: one can find a roommate in Pau for an average around 350 €. While the rent for an entire home would rather be 600€.


The student roommate in Pau is also developing because it is interesting for owners by guaranteeing them better profitability. A 4-room apartment rented to a family earns 900€ while it can earn 1,200€ by being rented by the room to students. In the face of the colocation craze, more and more companies specialize in student residences and so-called “colocation” products. Most shared flats are made up of 2 or 3 students. The shared apartments in Pau come from 80% of the private rental stock, in 3-room apartments.
