You will take lunch and dinner at any of several University restaurants. Money for student meal tickets will be provided at monthly intervals. Do not expect the French student restaurants will be like those at Oberlin. Since many students will need to use public transportation to get to and from classes, money for a bus pass will also be provided at monthly intervals. Public transportation in town is frequent and reliable.
Families Living in a French home provides an immediate introduction to life abroad.
Students will find that this kind of housing arrangement can offer first-hand knowledge of French culture. Your host family will be eager to meet you and ready to help you make the adjustment to life in Strasbourg. Please remember at all times that you are living in a home rather than a dorm or apartment and that you must always be considerate of your host family s needs. It is wise to discuss ground rules with your hosts at the very beginning in order to avoid any misunderstandings and to make your family stay a pleasant one. When in doubt, always check first with your host as to what is permissible.
