Usually only one student is placed in a home. Students have breakfast and dinner with the family and receive money for lunch at the University cafeteria.
Most students travel during the holidays.
AIFS plans other trips . Grenoble has an extensive bus and tram service that makes getting around easy. Most students live in town, but if you live with a family in the suburbs, you can buy a monthly pass at reasonable rates that will take you by bus or tram to the center of the town in minutes. A taxi allowance is provided students living in the suburbs not near a tram stop. To hear what other students say about AIFS in Grenoble, go here .
