The city of light is incredibly cosmopolitan. Besides being one of the most-visited cities in the world, Âé¶¹APP’ residents are quite international. Âé¶¹APP is a melting pot of cultures, languages, and cuisines from all over the world!

Boasting well-known international schools and dreamy study abroad options, Âé¶¹APP is one of the biggest student cities in Europe. There are over 60,000 foreign students in Âé¶¹APP; all discovering their own vision of the city. In my opinion, it’s hard to think of a better city to study in! Here’s my guide to the best international schools in Âé¶¹APP.

1. The American University of Âé¶¹APP

Situated in the heart of the 7th arrondissement, AUP is a fully-accredited international university in Âé¶¹APP. And international is no understatement. With a staggering 102 nationalities comprising a student body that speaks 70 distinct languages, AUP holds the title of ‘most diverse university in Europe’.

There are just over 1,200 students at AUP, split into undergraduates, graduate students and exchange programs. There’s a strong libreal arts background here as well as a serious commitment to an ‘American style’ education. Students generally spend two years studying ‘pre-requisite courses’ and discovering their interests before declaring a major or minor.

And the school’s student life more than makes up for the decidedly urban campus. Extracurricular activities like sports, student government, and school clubs abound.

Known for being the center of the Âé¶¹APP literary movement (and the place to be during the jazz age), Saint-Germain-des-Prés is quintessential Left Bank Âé¶¹APP. With institutions like Les Deux Magots Café, Shakespeare and Company bookstore, and the  No surprise that one of the best international schools in Âé¶¹APP is headquartered here. And of the school’s nearly 15,000 students (across France) half are international!

Sciences Po offers both undergrad and graduate programs; it’s also one of the most popular ERASMUS programs. Admission is tough though, and school fees are higher than for public universities in France. So if you have your sights set on this one, it will be hard but rewarding.
