INSEAD Fonti Housing | Club 8 & Club 16
Incoming INSEAD 27D.
I an incoming INSEAD MBA (27D) currently looking at housing in Fontainebleau, specifically Club 16 vs Club 8.
I’ve been offered a private ensuite room with bathroom for ~€500/month in one of these houses. However, from what I can see, most other shared housing options in Fontainebleau typically start around €800–€1,200+ per month, so I’m a bit confused.
My main questions:
Is Club 16 / Club 8 genuinely a “cheaper” option, or is €500 likely too good to be true / missing something (fees, shared arrangements, smaller sub-rooms, etc.)?
In terms of living experience, how do Club 16 vs Club 8 actually compare (room quality, noise, social life, crowd, privacy)?
Am I compromising on quality, space, or overall experience if I choose these vs other premium coliving houses?
For anyone who has lived there or knows people who did — would you recommend it, or are there better alternatives around the same price range?
Would really appreciate any alumni/current student insights before I commit.
Thanks a lot!
