The residence closest to the IFSI and the CHU

The IFSI nursing school of the CHU de Limoges is at 39F rue Camille Guérin, about 1.1 km from the E-Magine residence (18 avenue de la République, Isle 87170). The walk follows the river Vienne and takes about 14 minutes — direct access with no need for public transport.

Even more important for nursing students: the CHU Dupuytren, where the vast majority of clinical placements take place, is about a 13-minute walk from the residence. For night shifts and irregular hours, that proximity makes all the difference.

Letting is handled by Begip, an estate agency in Limoges specialising in student housing.

💡 Good to know: The E-Magine studios are eligible for ALS (French housing benefit) paid by the CAF. Your net rent after benefit can fall significantly below €360/month depending on your situation.
