On campus
École Centrale de Lyon has two on-campus student halls.
First-year students take priority in the distribution of on-campus rooms and studios.
For 2nd and 3rd years, priority is given to students with scholarships and grants and to international students coming to study at the institute as part of an exchange programme.
