Where to stay in Paris as a student?
Hi! I'm going to Sorbonne to study, and will have classes in both their main campus and their campus at Porte de Clignancourt, they are quite far apart.
At first I really wanted the 5th arrondissement, I found a good apartment there. It's a 10 min walk to Sorbonne Université and a 30 min metro to Clignancourt campus.
I also found a place in the 9th that’s bigger and cheaper, and honestly I like the vibe more. It’s about 20 min to Clignancourt campus and ~30 min to Sorbonne on metro.
Then I looked at the 11th too and realized commute times are kind of similar everywhere once you’re central + on metro lines.
So now I’m wondering, does it even matter that much where you live in central Paris as long as you’re well connected? Or is living in the 5th actually worth it for the experience?
Thanks in advance!!
