Housing
Last year the Summer Institute was able to coordinate the availability of approximately 10 places in dormitory-style housing. We are making similar arrangements for 2010. Students also will find many apartment rental opportunities in Paris. We will send detailed housing information to all admitted applicants by mid-April 2010. We also will provide individual advice as needed and an Internet-based roommate signup service.
Note - We very strongly urge students to locate housing before arriving in Paris.
Access to Facilities for Persons with Disabilities
Most cities in Europe, including Paris, are not as handicapped-accessible as U.S. cities. In the Sorbonne and Faculté de Droit buildings at the Université Paris I, access for persons with disabilities to classrooms, offices, and other facilities is limited. Persons with questions about their circumstances should contact:

Overall Cost of Living Estimate
In addition to tuition (US$3,300 - $4,300) and fees for language class (US$450), students are responsible for the cost of their own transportation to and from Paris, housing, meals, and other related expenses in Paris. Although the total cost of participating in the program will vary greatly, given the world-wide range of participants, by way of general guidance we would estimate that the total cost (tuition, living and travel) for participants from North America would be in the range of US$7,600 – $9,700.
