Accommodations

The Lyon program allows students the flexibility to choose from a range of housing options.  During the September orientation, students may live with a host family or in a residence hall.  For the rest of the year, students may choose a host family, a residence hall, a room in a boarding house, or a small apartment.  Students will have access to cooking facilities and/or inexpensive student restaurants.

Business program students live with French home-stay families in order to have a cultural immersion experience not provided in their main academic courses, which are taught in English.

Housing Stipend
Most students in the Lyon program receive a modest monthly stipend (CAF) from the French government that serves as a partial subsidy of housing costs while attending school in Lyon.  Students must apply for the stipends after arrival in France, and the awarding of stipends is dependent on the student's actual housing costs and financial situation (much like U.S. financial aid). Stipends range up to €120 per month and are available to all eligible students enrolled in recognized academic programs in France.

Insurance

All students on this program are enrolled in a mandatory health and accident insurance plan.  Information regarding comprehensive insurance will be provided during the OUS orientation.

UO Financial Aid

Attention: Students with Work Study Awards
The OUS International Programs office in Lyon is generally able to employ one or more work-study students (depending on Lyon enrollment and each student's work-study award amount) as office assistants.  Students who receive work-study awards are encouraged to retain them in their financial aid packages until the final work-study hires are announced. Year-long program participants receive first priority for work-study positions in Lyon.
