With its many schools, campuses, and universities accessible from Geneva, such as the University of Geneva, HEAD, or HEC Geneva, Archamps has become a top address for finding affordable student accommodation in Haute-Savoie at a reasonable price.
The town benefits from exceptional transport infrastructure thanks to Line M (Archamps, Communauté de Communes) and the Ecla shuttle, which reaches Lancy-Bachet station in just a few minutes. With an 11-minute walk from St-Julien-en-Genevois station and 3 minutes from the Pathé cinema, the residence is at the heart of everything.
