Paris is one of the most cosmopolitan and exciting of the world’s capitals. It is busy, sophisticated, expensive, confusing and can be overwhelming to newcomers. However, if you take some time to ease yourself into the life of the city and have realistic expectations about the adaptation period that you and all newcomers experience, then you will soon find yourself part of the vibrant community that is AUP and Paris.

 

This guide is designed to give you some of the information that you will need in the next few weeks. It is not designed to be exhaustive. Rather, it contains the information that you will be exposed to at the Orientation workshops and the information that we have found by experience that most new students need in their first few weeks at AUP.
