City factsheets 2020: welcoming international students in 50 university cities

Welcoming international students accordingly is still France’s top priority. Every year, Campus France provides students with info sheets about international student reception and life in major university cities in France. These factsheets help find useful information to discover their new living and studying environment.

Practical information about reception and student life...

City factsheets provide practical information about:

• Welcome services for international students (welcome desks, international tutoring, and more)
• Accommodation
• Transports
• Administrative paperwork at your arrival (registration in your institution, residence permit, and more)
• Everyday life (bank, health, work/internship, and others)
• Social life, tourism and culture
• Exchange and sharing with the community of alumni in the France Alumni social network.

Factsheets are updated every year before the start of the academic year. They’re available in French, English and Spanish.
