Choose to live in one of the following housing options:
Although every attempt will be made to match each student's preferences with our housing options, roommate and housing assignments are based upon availability and other factors. Therefore, your housing preferences cannot be guaranteed. We encourage you to apply early as it will assist us in organizing your housing arrangements.
Apartments
CEA students studying on the French Riviera will live in centrally located CEA apartments. Apartments vary in size, from two to three bedrooms and students usually share a bedroom with another CEA participant. The apartments are nicely furnished with a bed and comforter for each student, desk, closet or dresser, table and chairs, equipped kitchen with cooking utensils, refrigerator, stove, sink, shared bathroom, washing machine and TV. Keep in mind that each of the apartments is individually owned and it is impossible for two apartments to be identical in a city that is hundreds of years old.
Meals are not included with this option. Many students prefer to cook for themselves in their apartments and experiment with regional fresh produce. You can buy supplies at the many colorful fresh food markets throughout Antibes-Juan-Les-Pins, as well as more conventional grocery stores. The Marché Provençale, located in Antibes’ old town is the favorite with locals and is open Tuesday through Sunday, offering a vast array of fresh fruit, vegetables, fish and poultry. Please budget additional funds for groceries during the program. You may also wish to bring a cook book with your favorite recipes from home.
All apartments are located approximately 25-35 minutes by public transportation from CERAM-EAI in nice neighborhoods of Antibes-Juan-Les-Pins. The comfortable bus service to CERAM-EAI runs every 10 to 15 minutes and drops students right in front of the school every morning.
Independent Living
CEA highly recommends that students live in the housing provided. Requests for permission to arrange independent housing must be made on the online housing or paper application form as determined by your program no later than the application closure date. For academic year students, requests for permission to arrange independent living arrangements for the second semester must be made no later than the second semester's application closure date. Students whose requests are approved will receive a rebate for housing. CEA resident directors will not provide assistance with independent housing and will not speak or act on behalf of any student who chooses to pursue such arrangements. Rebates are not granted for students who move out of their CEA housing or choose to pursue independent living arrangements after the application closure date.
