EPITA helps international students to be accommodated in residence halls, private rooms or flats ((€450 to €650 per month prior to the housing aid benefits). Registered students can have access to housing ads on the EPITA web site. Students can also benefit from a privileged access to three student residences situated next to the campuses, in Kremlin-Bicêtre and Villejuif. In addition, the school has several agreements with housing services in Paris.
Students have created many clubs to fulfill their diverse interests ranging from hands-on experience in IT aspects, to Japanese culture and various sports activities. Social events and entertainment are coordinated and promoted by our very dynamic students government through the school network. Dinners, crêpe parties, skiing in the Alps or dancing in famous Parisian nightclubs constitute not only welcome breaks but also invaluable means to experience the French way of life and meet new friends.
Covering the scope of the arts, culture, sports, humanitarian work, entertainment, games, technical, media and business, EPITA's students clubs and organizations have been one the unique elements offered to its community. With more than three weekly events gathering on average 80 students, student clubs and organization provide a true venue for students' self-realization.
While it develops real humane and organizational qualities, one's involvement in student clubs represents a fundamental component of EPITA's pedagogical goal. Thus EPITA students acquire in a genuine context leadership, responsibilities, creativity, respect, numerous opportunities to overcome one's limits, networking, etc.
