Housing
You can choose to rent a room in a Parisian home, a student residence, or a local Paris apartment. All housing is coordinated through a third-party. If you choose a homestay or student residence, your housing will be selected for you based on the information you provide prior to arrival. If you prefer an apartment, you’ll be given a list of potential options and make the arrangements yourself.

Homestay
All homestay families have experience hosting exchange students. The Paris homestay experience feels like renting a room in a family’s home. Some meals are provided but because of the demands on your time as a student-intern, you are encouraged to commit to no more than a couple of evening meals each week. Some homestays will have a private entrance, all have full kitchen access and the freedom to come and go on your own time.
