<\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>Meeting places<\/p>\n
The availability of numerous common rooms and the organisation of workshops and activities encourage residents to meet each other and help to prevent anonymity. These are places for interaction that promote learning about community life, mutual aid and solidarity, and respect for others in a warm and welcoming environment.<\/p>\n
Each year, around twenty students choose to stay on for an extra year to become floor representatives. Selected for their sense of service and desire to help, they support new arrivals, organise activities on their floor and ensure that shared spaces, particularly the kitchens, run smoothly, creating a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for everyone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

<\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>Multicultural exchanges<\/p>\n
The Student House welcomes young people from different social backgrounds and cultures, promoting personal enrichment, understanding of others and learning about differences. The presence of many international students allows for rich cultural exchanges and an openness to the world. Around 40 nationalities are represented in our houses each year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n
