Université Paris IV Paris - Sorbonne

You get absolutely no help with housing from the Sorbonne. If possible try to get into a foyer if not then just go and hoof it looking for places in the city. Becareful with the areas you end up in though!

I cannot say much as I am not even sure that Paris IV even provides housing.

there aren't a housing for the foreign student so it's ashame for them. it's so difficult to find a housing in paris.actually sorbonne don't give us any probable help because there are so many foreign students finding a housing.

Living with a host could not have been more beneficial for my well-being. The woman I lived with was older, had grandchildren (whom I baby-sat and gave English lessons) and regularly hosted foreign visitors. She taught me how to knit, helped me understand the election process better, and connected me with her daughter and her daughter's friends who made me feel welcome in France. It was much easier to then transition into living on my own after spending my first few months in the care of a host.

The University Paris IV-Sorbonne doesn't help much with the accomodation but fortunately, I had help from the German Bureau for Academic Exchange DAAD who provided all necessary information.

My host family was great. The people were incredibly nice, and it definitely helped improve my language skills.
