4.00 / 5 based on 210 reviews.
Description:
Vous entrez à Paris-Sorbonne (Paris IV) : c'est l'héritière de l'une des plus anciennes universités du monde, la prestigieuse Sorbonne qui date du Moyen Âge... Mais, vous y entrez pour le nouveau siècle, le vingt-et-unième. Vous allez y trouver à peu près toutes les disciplines du secteur lettres et sciences humaines (en tous cas, le plus vaste champ proposé à Paris) : depuis le grec ancien et l'égyptologie jusqu'à l'ingénierie linguistique, en passant par la philosophie, la sociologie, les études de la plupart des langues et civilisations étrangères, les lettres classiques et modernes, l'histoire.....

Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice

Why? Although living with a family was great, I would want more privacy if I were to live in paris for a longer period of time.
Personal comments:
It was a very emboldening experience...cold-calling people to see their apartmnts was daunting, but it worked out very well
