ABOUT THIS PROGRAM
The Department of French and Italian offers an advanced language study abroad program (LSA+) in Toulouse, France, at the foot of the Pyrénées mountains in the southwest of the country.
Toulouse, France's fourth-largest city at 500,000 inhabitants, is known for its remarkable medieval and Renaissance architecture. Culture is a keyword in Toulouse, nicknamed "la ville rose" because of its red-brick buildings: dance performances, theater, and concerts by the Orchestre du Capitole enliven everyday life. Students will take advantage of the rich artistic (LSA+), political, and historical context of this exciting city, also famed as the home of leading companies such as Airbus, Thalès Alenia Space and Spot Image.
Enrollment Information
About 16 students are selected for the program.

TBD STUDENT LIFE
Students live with French-speaking homestay hosts for the full duration of the program. The homestay living arrangement is an integral and required component of this program. A homestay experience often offers several benefits, including improved language skills (especially in foreign language environments), deep cultural insights, integration into the local community, the opportunity to experience daily life like a local, and the chance to build meaningful relationships.
For more information, please see the department website.
Financing Your Program
Tuition and Fees
The fees charged by the College for a Dartmouth-sponsored off-campus term of study include regular tuition charges for a term at Dartmouth, service fees, as well as the specific costs established for each off-campus study locale. In many programs, the room and board costs tend to be higher than for a term in Hanover. You can view a budget sheet for each program by clicking on the appropriate term under "Financing Your Program". The cost of transportation to and from the site is the responsibility of the student.
Financial Aid
In order that all qualified Dartmouth undergraduate students may have the opportunity to take part in off-campus programs, the College endeavors to adjust its normal financial aid awards for students already receiving aid. Tuition and expected family contribution for Dartmouth's off-campus programs are the same as for an on-campus term.
Students are responsible for purchasing their own plane tickets and, in many cases, meals. Often, families find that they owe less for billable items for study away terms but will instead use more of their expected family contribution towards indirect costs such as the flight and meals. For help sorting out who pays what and how, contacting the Financial Aid office is often advisable.
