The "Maison internationale": a place to welcome and support international students
The "International house" will welcome you and guide you even before your arrival, but also throughout your studies, as much on the administrative front (help with procedures, personalised support) as on the social front (cultural discoveries, friendly activities).
Help and support:
Residence permit, social security, housing, transport, bank account, everyday life... Any concerns or questions? All year round, the Maison internationale's team will assist you with the administrative formalities you need to get settled and live in France.
Fun and friends:
We know it can be tough to socialize and make friends in another country, and we believe your well-being is also a key to your success as a student. That is why, all throughout the year, the Maison Internationale hosts a variety of events for international students and researchers. These include the Welcome Days in September and January, as well as weekly (free) cultural visits, world festivities, various workshops and special evenings!
