•  airport pickup and transfer to accommodation
•  an introduction to Efrei (campus tours, information meetings, registration procedures, etc.)
•  practical help with settling into Paris (housing, bank, phone, transportation, etc.)
•  assistance with all administrative procedures (residence permit, accommodation allowance, health care, etc.)
•  cultural visits in and around Paris
•  social activities to meet other students and to make new friends
•  an intensive French language program with individual tutoring to facilitate cultural integration for all students and increase the language levels of those who will attend courses taught in French

The International Team and the Tutor System

The Efrei International Team is a student association which provides individualized assistance in both personal and academic matters to all international students. Upon arrival in September, students are appointed tutors who will remain their guides throughout their stay at Efrei. The tutors’ task is to help new international students integrate more easily into the French way of life and to help them make French friends.
