Maison des étudiants

La Maison des étudiants is an association of the Catholic University of Lyon, which manages the Maison Saint Bernard.

Located in the heart of Lyon and close to the Carnot and Saint Paul campuses, our residence is secure, friendly and offers students a suitable living and working environment.

Our residence is aimed primarily at students enrolled in their 1st year at Ucly

The entire team ensures that each resident can find the help and support they need to make the most of their first year away from their families.

Places for meetings

The provision of numerous common rooms and the organising of workshops and activities facilitate meetings between residents and prevent isolation. They are places for exchanges which help students to learn about life in a community, mutual support, solidarity and respect for others in a friendly setting.

Support multicultural exchanges

The Maison des Etudiants hosts young people from different social backgrounds and cultures, facilitating personal enrichment, familiarity with others and learning about differences. The presence of numerous international students allows rich cultural exchanges and openness to the world. Approximately 40 nationalities are represented in our residences each year.

For all kinds of stay

Periods of residence can range from a few days (stopovers) to a half year (short stay) or a full academic year (long stay). The Saint Bernard residence remains open all summer for students who wish to stay in Lyon in the summer and to accommodate students enrolled on summer courses.

Étudiante vietnamienne - Maison Saint Laurent et Saint Bernard

Pour moi, les deux maisons Saint Laurent et Saint Bernard sont mes vraies maisons où on vit et on partage comme une famille. Pendant une année je suis restée dans les deux maisons, je ne sentais jamais que j’étais seule ou j’étais étrangère grâce à tous les autres résidents et les personnels des maisons. Les repas dans la grande cuisine, les discussions des différences culturelles, des fêtes au jardin, les séances de karaoké et de danses en salle de TV,.. sont les mémoires que je n’oublierai jamais. Je n’ai pas habité très longtemps dans les deux maisons mais j’ai rencontré mes meilleurs amis là-bas. Et comme une famille, nous restons toujours en contact. Merci à vous pour ces expériences merveilleuses!

Our team at your disposal

We are present 7 days a week to welcome our residents. A night guard provides a caring and reassuring presence every night in each residence. The association Maison des Étudiants has 15 employees to look after its students.
