Bonjour! I will be studying in France this summer.
What can anyone tell me about housing in Paris? I will be in Nantes at the end of May and through June, but for the entire month of July I will be in Paris and have to find my own housing. Any hints, tips?

3. Merci beau coup!
Ceux-ci sont beaucoup plus bon marché que que j'ai trouvé. (My French is really bad: These are much cheaper than what I found)

2. Or try to get a copy of this:
http://www.fusac.org/en/

The FUSAC is an excellent way to find short-term housing. First off, you should try to find housing through your program. Where are you enrolled? Most programs have housing assistance.

Bonne chance.

Wherever you stay, you will have a wonderful time.

4. Je ferai les études à L'Université Panthéon-Assas
(in conjunction with Tulane University school of Law). They don't provide us housing for this program (they do in Nantes)- we are on our own.

I think L'Université Panthéon-Assas is in the cinquième arrondisement so I'm looking in 7e, 6e, 14e, and 13e.

6. Is Assas the equivalent
of the University of Chicago Law School?

7. I don't know
I know nothing about the University of Chicago Law School so it's difficult to compare.

Within la faculté de droit de l'Université Paris II Panthéon Assas there are several groups of far right student.

In the past they have committed violent actions.

Worse : J.C. Martinez, a prominent member of the Front National, the French far right party is teaching in Assas.

But It's a minority and not an official policy of the University.



Je ne connais pas l'Université de Chicago. Je ne peut donc pas comparer.

Au sein de la faculté de droit de l'Université Paris II Panthéon Assas il y a plusieurs groupes d'étudiant d'extrême droite.

Dans le passé ils ont mené des actions violentes.

Pire : J.C. Martinez, un membre important du Front National, le parti français d'extrême droite enseigne à Paris II

Il s'agit de minorités, pas d'une politique officielle de l'Université.

8. University of Chicago Law School
etait la pepiniere pour plusieurs avocats qui etaient a l'origine de la poursuite de Bill Clinton.

Ces avocats portaient le nom de "elves" dans l'affaire Whitewater/ Paula Jones/Lewinsky. Ils travaillaient dans l'obscurite, parfois dans l'anonymat complet, a contourner la loi afin d'attaquer Clinton et mettre fin a son regime.

Cette faculte est aussi connue comme centre de la Federalist Society, une organisation professionnelle pour avocats de l'extreme droite.

10. OK donc pas grand chose à voir...
...avec les groupes d'Assas qui sont des petits nazillons tentant d'infiltrer les milieux étudiants (en gros des fouteurs de merde).

9. I'll be studying in a separate program
it's sponsored by Tulane and taught by professors from other French universities, the University of Ediburgh, Tulane, and other schools. It will be mostly american kids taking the classes.

11. Good
Hopefully you'll never meet the weirdos I was referring to.

I just wanted to let you know that Assas is not the most leftist University in Paris.

Hope you will enjoy your stay :hi:
