8. Integration

All year long, the International Relations Office organizes the buddy system, also called « parrainage » in French.
It is a matching system between a French student from the University and an exchange student in Tours for an academic semester or year.
It will enable you to easily meet a French student who will help you discover the city and the University !
It is a also a very good way to discover the habits of the French people in a genuine way !
 

Erasmus Student Network Tours is a student organization committed to improve the integration of the University’s international exchange students : in short, this is YOUR organization !
ESN Tours offers many activities (cultural outings, international dinners, French cooking masterclasses, guided visits of Tours and its heritage, cinema, karaoke parties...) all year long!
The membership is only 7€ and gives you access to attractive discounts on all the ESN activities but also on the cultural excursions organized by the International Relations Office !
