Accommodation
Finding accommodation in Toulouse may be challenging. That’s why we advise all of our exchange students to start looking for accommodation as early as possible. The international office will try and help International Exchange Students find appropriate housing.
Full information on accommodation will be available online at the time of Registration.
Health and medical insurance
During their stay in France, International Exchange Students are entitled to the Student Health Care System like any French student. They will be required to pay 207 euros for the year (based on the 2012/13 rate). This is mandatory whether students are insured by their National Health Insurance in their home country or have taken out private insurance except if they are:
An EU student holder of the European Health Insurance Card who has taken out a private insurance policy
A student from Quebec holder of 401 Q 102 bis forms over 28 years old Staying for less than 3 months
We strongly recommend our International Exchange Students take and additional Health insurance in their country of origin to cover them in case of emergency while travelling in Europe and in case of medical repatriation.
Welcome Team
Each year, we recruit a group of ESC students whose mission is to welcome our International exchange students and help them settle in Toulouse on their arrival. The Welcome Team organises an orientation weekend for all our international exchange students. Please refer to Orientation Dates on page 4 for specific dates. The Welcome Team can also be contacted by email at the following address: [email protected]
