Stay abroad : there will be a before and after

You were looking forward to your study year abroad. But a few days before the arrival, the stress starts to rise and full of questions pop up in your head. Do not worry, it's perfectly normal! 

 

Why did I make that decision? What happened to me? Why did I decide to leave my cocoon, my habits and all my relatives? Will I be able to integrate, make friends, get used to the French University? 

 

By choosing to leave "everything" for the time of a foreign parenthesis, you will learn to know yourself better. You will grow, learn a new language, a new culture, a new way of life. You will get out of your comfort zone by opening yourself to people different from you. There will be a before and after year abroad, you will come back necessarily changed. And we bet it will be good.

A night dedicated to international students

If you have just arrived in France and are looking to integrate into your adopted city, we strongly advise you to attend the international students night, initiated by the city of Lyon 12 years ago. This type of event contributes to the mobility of students, encourages exchanges to participate in the construction of a University Europe.
Everything is set up so that you start your academic year in France in the best possible conditions.
This international students night of takes place every year in October and usually begins in the afternoon with a cultural or sporting outing. For example a catamaran cruise is proposed in Marseille; in Amiens a guided bike ride. The day ends on a festive note! There is something for all tastes: an evening of student artistic creation in Toulouse, exhibitions and awards in Rouen or a concert and dance floor in Lyon.

Intergenerational cohabitation, much more than a houseshare

If you want a low cost accommodation and you like to help others then intergenerational cohabitation is surely made for you! By 2014 there were more than 1.5 million people over the age of 75 suffering from loneliness. On the other hand, seven out of ten young people - including many students - face difficulties accessing housing in France.

A win win relationship

Cohabitation between a young person and an elderly person takes on its full meaning. You receive housing for a few small services, an occupancy allowance or a commitment to be present on certain evenings of the week to provide company for your elderly host. Seniors often have a lot of stories to tell; an opportunity for you to talk about your countries and your respective generations!

ESN France launches a survey on intergenerational housing, they need your opinion and your experience on this phenomenon:

You have chosen France, welcome!

France is still on the 3rd step of the podium of countries hosting foreign students, beaten only by the United States and the United Kingdom. The country is therefore holding its own against the English-speaking countries. The latest statistics from Campus France, based on figures from Unesco and the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and National Education, were published in early 2016.

Know that you are one of over 270,000 to have landed in France to study in one of our schools.

You may have chosen this destination for the good social protection offered to students or for the low cost of studies, but we are betting that it is above all the lifestyle, the landscapes, the architecture and the quality of teaching that you will miss when you return home. We wish you a year full of freedom, equality, fraternity ... and croissants!

<p>I was a little worried about coming to France. A new apartment, new friends, a new culture... It’s always difficult at the beginning, but after 6 months of new, intense experiences, it’s the best time of my life!<br /> &nbsp;</p>
