What expenses aren’t included with the tuition?
As detailed above, housing is not included. Insurance and airfare (usually $1000-$1,500 from North America; much less from Europe) are not included. Nor are most food expenses, which should run about $20-$80 a day. Ground transportation (including airport shuttle) is not included — but Paris is inexpensive and easy to navigate by foot, bus and subway. Tips on how to live cheaply in Paris are included with the course orientation.
Do I need to speak French?
French fluency is not required, as all of the courses will be taught in English.
What kind of students typically take the program?
It’s usually a mix of young-to-mid-career professionals and university students. The program also attracts a number of retirees (often couples). Most students are Americans, Canadians, Australians or Brits — though students from around the world have participated in the past (workshops in recent years have included participants from Ireland, Italy, Norway, Denmark, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Albania, Turkey, Lebanon, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Ghana, China, Japan, Brunei, Brazil, Grenada, and Mexico). Students of all nationalities are welcome, of course — though class instruction will be in English only.
