Where will I live?
Students stay in one of two well-located dorms in the St. Germain des Prés area of Paris. Each dorm has comfortable common areas-- lounge, TV room, student kitchen, library, etc. To keep your budget reasonable, each dorm provides both daily breakfast and dinner Monday to Friday. Accommodations include twin or single rooms. Some single rooms are available at a supplement to early applicants.
Our main dorm in 2010 will be the Centre Dominicain. The Centre has mostly twin rooms with private baths. Some singles are available at a supplement. Breakfast is served daily and a student kitchen is available to store and prepare food. The dorm as a TV room and library, as well. It is very well-located near cinemas, cafés, shops, the métro and bus lines. All rooms have been renovated within the last year.
The second residence this year is the Foyer de la Sainte Famille. Located adjacent to the Institut Catholique, this dorm offers twin rooms with a few singles. Some rooms have private baths, others will share bathroom facilities on the same floor. The Foyer is in the 6th district with easy access to the metro, buslines and Jardin de Luxembourg.
