Who This Residence Suits Best
Kampus 30 Residence is a purpose-built student housing property located in Nîmes, southern France. It is particularly well suited for students who are looking for an all-inclusive, modern living environment in a quiet residential area, with a supportive on-site team and communal facilities for studying or relaxing.
From the resident feedback, the property appears to be a strong fit for:
- Students enrolled at local institutions, especially those with campuses or facilities in the Ma Valieu area. One reviewer explicitly states the residence is “ideal for students, notably in vatel or the CHU faculty”. While specific institutions are named in the review, the general takeaway is that proximity to educational buildings is a clear advantage.
- Students who value a quiet, well-maintained atmosphere. Multiple reviewers highlight the calm environment and friendly neighbours. The property is described as “quiet” and “with good neighbours”, which is a priority for many students who need to focus on studies.
- Residents who want a supportive management team. The reviews repeatedly mention the kindness and availability of the staff – both Séverine (the manager) and Jérémy are praised as “extremely helpful”, “really cool and attentive”. This suggests the residence places importance on property management responsiveness.
- Those who prefer inclusive rent. The property is tagged with “bills_included”, meaning the monthly rent (from €545 to €805) covers utilities such as electricity, water, heating and internet. For students on a fixed budget, this removes the hassle of separate bills.
- Students planning a medium-term stay. The minimum lease is six months, which aligns with a typical academic semester or full academic year for many programmes.
Who Might Want to Look Elsewhere
While Kampus 30 Residence has strong positives, it may not be the ideal choice for everyone.
- Students who need to be in the very centre of Nîmes. The address is listed as 30900 Nîmes, and while the exact location is not given beyond the postcode, resident reviews mention it is “not far from Ma Valieu, just 5 minutes away”. Ma Valieu is a neighbourhood on the southern edge of Nîmes, so the residence is likely outside the historic city centre. If you prefer walking distance to main squares, shops and nightlife, check the exact address before committing.
- Students seeking a very short lease (e.g., one month summer stay). The minimum lease is six months, so this property is not suitable for short-term holiday lets or student internships lasting only a few weeks.
- Those who prioritise high-end luxury. The residence is described as “modern, well-maintained” but not as premium or upscale. Prices start at €545, which is the city from-price, so it positions itself as a mid-range option. If you expect a concierge, gym, or rooftop terrace, those amenities are not mentioned in the data.
- Students who need immediate availability. The earliest move-in date is 2 July 2026. If you are looking for a place for spring 2026, this residence may not be ready until summer.

Kerwin Siri (5/5): “This kampus, is ideal for students, notably in vatel or the CHU faculty. I highly recommend this place. Severine, the kampus 30 manager was extremely helpful👍👍”
Nouha Baba (5/5): “I had a wonderful stay at the Uxco K30 residence.

RAMATOULAYE NDIAYE (5/5): “Uxco Nîmes is simply amazing! The manager (Jeremy) is really cool and attentive. The residence is quiet, with good neighbors, and it’s not far from Ma Valieu, just 5 minutes away. The common room is relaxing and pleasant.”

Price Positioning vs the City’s From-Price
According to the data, the starting price for student housing in Nîmes (across all properties listed by this platform) is €545 per month. Kampus 30 Residence starts at exactly that figure: its minimum monthly rent is €545 (indicative — confirm with the operator). The maximum rent for a unit here is €805 per month.
This means that the entry-level studio or room at this residence is priced in line with the cheapest option available in the city at the time of data collection. If you are on a tight budget, the €545 option allows you to stay within the city’s lowest threshold while enjoying the benefits of bills included and a study area.
The top-end price of €805 is likely for larger units (two-bedroom or one-bedroom apartments). For context, with only two properties listed for the entire city (according to the data), the price range here spans the full low-to-mid spectrum. Students wanting to spend less than €545 per month will need to look at private rentals or colocations outside this platform.
Important: All prices are indicative as of the data date. Actual rates may vary based on contract length, early booking promotions, or seasonal demand. Always confirm the final rent with the operator.
Room-Type Guidance
The property offers three unit types:
- Studio: A self-contained unit with a combined living/sleeping area and a private kitchenette and bathroom. Usually the most affordable option. Suitable for a single student who values privacy.
- 1-bedroom (1b): A separate bedroom plus a living room or kitchen area. Offers more space than a studio. Good for a single person who wants distinct zones, or a couple.
- 2-bedroom (2b): Two separate bedrooms with shared living/kitchen facilities. Ideal for two students who want to share while having their own private sleeping space.
When choosing, consider the total monthly rent range (€545 to €805) — the studio will be at the lower end, the two-bedroom at the upper end. If you are travelling alone, a studio or one-bedroom works best. If you have a friend or know someone in Nîmes, sharing a two-bedroom can divide the rent (still within the total range, so per person it might be under €402.50 to €805 split two ways). Check the exact pricing per room/unit when you contact the operator.
Booking Timing
The residence is available from 2 July 2026. Given that the current data date is July 2026 (as per “Sources & data date” line), availability may be limited. For a start date in July 2026, you should ideally have secured a room by early to mid-2026.
The minimum lease is 6 months, meaning the earliest move-out would be January 2027 if you move in on 2 July 2026. If you plan to stay for a full academic year (September to June), you can sign a lease that covers the period from July or start a new contract later — but check with the operator if they can hold a unit for a September start.
Since the property has an average rating of 4.7 with 111 reviews, it appears to be a popular option. No vacancy data is available, so treat the listed availability date as the earliest move-in. If you are looking for a room for September 2026, you can still apply after that date, but earlier booking increases your chances of getting your preferred room type.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the residence safe and quiet?
Yes, based on resident reviews. One reviewer states: “The residence is quiet, with good neighbors.” Another describes the atmosphere among residents as welcoming.
