Housing for international students

Situated in a private park in the 14th arrondissement, the Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris offers international students an affordable room to live in. It was founded in 1925 to provide general and public services to visiting students, including students coming from the French Caribbean. 

The following countries have their own house:
Argentina, Armenia, Belgium & Luxembourg, Brazil, Cambodia, Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Germany, Greece, India, Iran, Italy, Japan, Lebanon, Mexico, Monaco, Morocco, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Southeast Asia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Tunisia and the United States of America.

There are 40 houses in total, including a house for people who study at École Nationale des Industries Agricoles et Alimentaires.

Former residents of ''CIUP'' include author Aimé Césaire, former Empress of Persia Farah Diba Pahlavi, philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre and former President of Senegal Abdou Diouf. Admission criteria can vary. Being a citizen of the country that the house belongs to is not always a requirement. For example, you don't have to be Dutch in order to live in the Dutch house. This is illustrated by the fact that Farah Diba Pahlavi lived there while studying in France. However, the Dutch house only allows students to live there if they will obtain a degree at a French educational institution. Exchange students can't live in the Dutch house. You can find the admission criteria for every house at the website (available both in French and English): http://www.ciup.fr/
