Quick Facts

Location DetailsNestled in the Alps, surrounded by fantastic Alpine peaks, Grenoble is in the heart of the Isère region and is the capital of the French Alps. Grenoble has left its mark on French history since 43 BC, when one of Caesar's lieutenants built a bridge across the river Isère. Four centuries later, the town that sprang up there became known as Grationopolis. The French Revolution germinated in Grenoble and this is also where Napoléon was welcomed in triumph upon his return from exile on the island of Elba. The three-rose emblem of the city symbolizes industry, tourism and the university. With dynamic high-tech companies, Grenoble has become a leader in the global electronics industry. Grenoble's exceptional geographic location has led to its popularity as a tourist destination and recreational center. |

Program HousingStudents have the choice of living in apartments or in university residences with kitchen facilities and also have access to university cafeterias. The university residences are the most economical form of accommodation, but the limited number of places available means that not everyone can be housed this way. Priority is given to students enrolled for a Master's degree. There is considerable provision of private sector rental accommodation in Grenoble, with the following housing options: private-sector student residences (most expensive), a furnished room in a private home with shared bathroom and kitchen, apartments, or sharing a rental (colocation) with other persons (colocataires). In most cases, energy charges (water, gas and electricity) are not included in the rental price. |
Below you will find information that may help you in planning for your study abroad experience. Early discussions and planning can help to support you in having a positive experience abroad. We invite you to meet with the International Coordinator for this program to discuss any questions or concerns you may have. Physical ConsiderationsStudy abroad participants may find themselves walking or taking public transit abroad more frequently than they are accustomed at their home campus. Disability Accommodations AbroadIndividuals with disabilities can and do study abroad, but may find accessibility and accommodation in one of more of this program’s locations very different from the United States. For example, in France, while there are a variety of accessible forms of transportation, Paris Metro stations remain largely inaccessible to people with mobility disabilities. Students may find that sidewalks are narrow and uneven, and cobblestone streets make access difficult in some areas. LGBTQIA Students AbroadStudents of diverse sexual orientations or gender identities will find that the social climate, laws, and norms of other cultures will often differ from the U.S. If you identify as a lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, or queer student - or if you are still exploring your identity - you may face unique challenges when traveling abroad. Gender Identity AbroadWhen traveling abroad, you may find different gender roles and norms than you’re used to. It’s possible that you may be treated differently or be expected to treat others differently based on your (or their) gender identity. Racial and Ethnic Minorities AbroadStudents of different ethnic and racial backgrounds may encounter unique challenges transitioning from life here in the United States to life as a student living abroad, including but not limited to access to personal care products and services. For example, in France, racism and discrimination do occur, but seem to be directed more towards immigrants from Africa and the Middle East. |
