Alma College International Education Office Program of Studies in Paris Housing Information Please read carefully the following housing descriptions. General conditions Participants in the program have a number of housing options open to them. Consider each one of them carefully, because a contract will be made for you, binding you to this housing assignment for the entire semester or term. Competition for certain categories of housing is quite intense. There can be no guarantee that you will be placed in your first choice, but the Resident Director will make the best possible effort to match your request.
Housing becomes available on the first day of the program.
If you choose to arrive early for any reason, Alma College can refer you to reasonable hotels or youth hostels. This is the option most highly recommended by Alma College due to the daily contact with French language and culture. Adjustment to life in a large foreign city is easier when students have local companionship. Living alone in a large city like Paris can be lonely. Students have a daily opportunity to speak French with the family.
