Exchange students: you have received (or will soon) an accommodation form from the International Office. Fill it in and send it back to us by e-mail : mines-nancy-dai@univ-lorraine.fr

CROUS Grants for foreigners : In order to help foreign students and according to their profile, international students can beneficiate from parts of the CROUS housing grants.
