StudyinFrance is a website dedicated to the community of international students in France. Every year, you are more than 370,000 to come over for your studies. To make sure you settle-in smoothly, we’ve gathered all the information and resources you’ll need to plan your stay 😊
StudyinFrance is committed to improving the welcoming, integration and stay of international students. We’ve got 5 primary goals, all aligned with the “Bienvenue en France – Choose France” vision.
To make sure your travel plans go smoothly.
To help you navigate the paperwork and administrative procedures.
To facilitate your access to student accommodation (CROUS residences, private housing, ..).
To encourage you to learn French (FLE) and overcome the language barrier.
Finally, to build a community of international students, based on sharing and mutual support.
Ask for a mentor 👋
She/he will guide you throughout your stay! You will also receive a comprehensive guide, tailored to your needs: one email for each topic you choose (visa, healthcare, accommodation, etc.), with tips and resources to help you plan your time in France.
Navigate your way through our website 🤙
If you’d rather do it on your own, you should be able to find all the information you need. Everything is classified by theme (visa, French healthcare system, accommodation, student life, travelling…) and regularly updated.
We’ve put together all the information you’ll need to prepare your Erasmus stay. We also introduce you to the ESN Network!
StudyinFrance was co-founded in 2019 by two friends: Adrien and Théo. Inspired by their personal experiences abroad (Erasmus & WHV), Adrien and Théo created StudyinFrance with the aim of making life easier for international students. StudyinFrance is based in Lille (France), in the premises of Euratechnologies.
Yes! StudyinFrance is a website dedicated to the international student community. We encourage mutual support and sharing of experiences, so that as many students as possible can easily prepare their stay in France.
The content we publish and the resources we put online are all accessible for free.
Applying for student housing aid is the only process for which we ask for a fee, which covers the processing of the application. Although, as usual, you may also do this for free using the tutorials we have provided.
Help is greatly appreciated! One of the things you can do is share in your experience. We use your feedback to improve our content (tips, advice) and better help our community.
Another thing would be to volunteer in a local student association involved in welcoming international students, such as ESN (Erasmus Student Network). It’d be very helpful, they are always looking for staff to welcome newcomers. Plus, it’s a great way to meet people! You should find these association on social medias (Facebook or Instagram).
If you are struggling with a specific topic and cannot find anything to help you on our website, please let us know. We’ve shared our roadmap for the next few months, there is a link you can use to send your requests.
