AS A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE AND STUDY (awarded by L’Étudiant magazine)

Most of the information presented in the Campus France City Information Sheets concerns all international students regardless of their
institution.
In France, in each of the host cities, most foreign students study at universities. Accordingly, the City Information Sheets attach great importance
to them without overlooking the other higher education institutions even if it is not possible to list them all here with their specific information.
