[edit] Accommodation and Refectories

The C.R.O.U.S. de Paris (Centre Régional des Œuvres Universitaires et Scolaires) is the organisation responsible for both student accommodation and refectories in Paris. It runs various student halls of residence and student restaurants both in central Paris and in its outskirts. The Restaurant Universitaire Censier is the student refectory which is used by the large majority of Paris III students due to its proximity to the Censier university site.
