• The cosmopolitan city has multiple landmarks to visit, including the Louvre, the National Museum of Natural History, and the highly successful Paris Shakespeare & Company.

Paris is more than just a tourist destination. It is a site bursting with culture and education.

Transportation

Airports

The nearest airports in Paris are Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG), which is the main international airport. You can use Orly Airport and Beauvais-Tille Airport, which primarily serves budget airlines and intra-European flights.

Local Transportation

Students have many transportation options in Paris. The cheapest, easiest and fastest way to get around Paris is the metro. There are 16 metro lines and about 300 metro stations. You can purchase a Metro pass upon arrival in downtown Paris. This pass allows use of the metro, bus, and trams within the city day and night.

Beyond the city limits (for example, when traveling to/from the airport or Versailles) you can use the Suburban Express Railway (RER). You’ll need separate tickets here, as your city metro pass will not be valid on these journeys.

You can also travel via transilien (regional train), tramway and buses.

Students stay in centrally located apartments, allowing for an immersive experience. Apartments are fully furnished and shared with other KSU study abroad students. Private apartments may be requested, however there is an additional cost and there are limited units available.

Students are encouraged to cook in their apartments and get out into the city to explore the diverse culinary scene that Paris has to offer. You can practice your French while picking up produce and meals from the various markets in Paris. When budgeting, you can expect to spend about 50 Euros daily for meals and snacks.

It is possible to use your federal financial aid to go on �鶹ӰԺ-approved education abroad programs. You can learn more on the Financial, Billing and Enrollment Center website.

It is also possible to use most �鶹ӰԺ State scholarships for education abroad costs. You can find education abroad scholarships on ScholarshipUniverse.
