Young people come to live at the CiuP not only for its campus and student services, but also to meet students from all over the world.
In 1925, the Cité internationale universitaire de Paris was born from the pacifist movement of the interwar period; ever since, it has brought together young talents from across the globe. By encouraging camaraderie and intercultural coexistence, dialogue, and a greater understanding of our rich and complex world, the Cité international contributes to fostering peace on a global scale. The CiuP is made up of 47 houses, 22 of which are managed by the CiuP National Foundation.
The other residences are considered to be independent or “non-affiliated”, but they work closely with the CiuP when it comes to admissions, campus life, and cultural programming. The campus welcomes approximately 7,000 students and researchers every year.
