Group members are reimbursed at a set rate for these meals by the program. Participants also receive a weekly entertainment allowance and a monthly bus and tramway pass. Athletic and craft activities and essential books are also financed by the Program. The Director organizes special excursions and serves also as a banker, regularly distributing money. Students should have some money of their own for other personal needs and travel.
Participants keep their rooms and receive their food allowance during vacations.
There are frequent buses and tramways to the campus from the center of Grenoble. An ultra modern tramway provides faster access to the Campus. Upon arrival, students take part in an orientation program. These sessions are designed to introduce them to French life and to provide intensive work in the French language. Students then begin regular courses in an individual program of study developed in conjunction with the Program Director.
