Whether you are looking for furniture, electrical appliances, clothing, crockery or books, various associations in the city of Grenoble offer affordable items for small budgets.
STUDENT ASSOCIATIONS
Some student associations and departments offer low-cost and free equipment.
Do not hesitate to find out from your teaching department if other associations offer resources and to browse the Facebook pages to find good deals.
Loan of computer equipment
You are a student and you don't have a personal computer to follow the courses? The Direction de la Vie Etudiante has set up a computer loan system for students whose financial situation does not allow them to purchase a personal computer. Requests are studied throughout the academic year and can extend over several academic years.
How do I apply?
You have to report to your component, either to the teacher or to the central schooling, which is in charge of making the request via a form to the DVE.
If you are followed by the CROUS social service, you can also make the request to your social assistant.
Once you have received confirmation of the loan allocation, you must come and collect the equipment by appointment or according to the procedures that will be communicated to you:
