Student Living France 2025

The Class Foundation announces the Student Living Forum France in September 2025. Returning to France for the first time since COVID-19, the Forum marks a critical opportunity to explore the future of student living in one of Europe’s most dynamic education landscapes.

The one-day programme includes site tours, workshop sessions, and though leadership panel conversations, and is set to connect a wide array of key players within the PBSA sector -from investors to operators, from universities to policy makers- to engage in the shaping of a common Agenda for Change.

As France advances its “Bienvenue en France” strategy, aiming to host 500,000 international students by 2027, the demand for accessible, high-quality student housing has never been more urgent.

The Forum will delve into the key trends and challenges shaping student housing and higher education across France, from surging demand in major cities to the role of innovative public-private partnerships in expanding PBS) to meet the needs of a diverse and growing student population. We’ll explore how France can balance affordability with quality, all while maintaining its competitive edge as a global study destination.

Join us for thought-provoking discussions, interactive sessions, and networking opportunities that will define the future of student living in France.

Details on the agenda, themes, and discussion topics coming soon...
