On the Jacob-Bellecombette campus there is a university library (BU), a restaurant (RU), general administration office, international office and laslty the university residences.

My campus is situated on a hillside overlooking Chambery and about a 15 minute walk into town.

There are 3 major faculties on campus:

Faculty of Literature, Languages and Human Sciences - Modern Literature, Foreign Languages, History, Sociology.

Faculty of Law - Law, Economics and Social Administration.

Institute of Business Administration - international management, tourism, hotel and leisure industries.


Accommodation:

 There are a limited amount of bedrooms available on campus but exchange students have high preference over local students. Instructions will be sent in a welcome package by the university in preparation for the arrival.

It is my responsability to confirm my reservation with the residence by letter or email, make sure i keep to the deadline indicated, send my confirmation documents and make the payment request by cheque or bank transfer.

CROUS is the university's residence name and they are in charge of finding a residence for students.

Insurance is also vital to have in France for accommodation. When I am in Chambery i will have to contact SMERRA student mutual organisation and my French bank. The insurance will cost around 30-50 euros a year.

France also offers an extra student fund towards accommodation which is called APL. I may be able to apply for this fund once I have my own french address, bank details, passport to give to them.
