The result of the successful implementation of a great project. So in the most general sense Cite Internationale Universitaire de Paris to “dormitory buildings complex", but these dormitories are not under the monopoly of a single university...
In the pacifist period between World War I and World War II, 1925 Cité Universitaire (which was launched insite university or site univeğsiteğ) project was intended to make Paris a center of attraction for students at that time, but due to the housing problem in the city center, it was located in the 14th District, just south of Paris. boroughthis one in 34 hectares It was decided to establish it in the area. Today it is the outer boundary of the Cité Universitaire. peripheral Creating.
On campus with a bed capacity of 5.700 until today A total of more than 140 students from 200.000 different nationalities stayed and still continues to stay… Cooperation of 40 different countries In the project implemented with the project, each structure built as independent buildings bears the architectural characteristics of the supporting country and is named after that country.
As you wander among the different buildings built by many countries, from Argentina to Japan, from Greece to Armenia, from Mexico to Lebanon, from Cambodia to Tunisia, your eyes are looking for Turkey, but you cannot find it. You're wondering why we're not here...
The French are proud of this campus; In this campus, which they consider as one of the most valuable indicators of internationalism, multiculturalism and, most importantly, the importance given to education, they have taken great care to offer all the necessary comfort in an academic environment with libraries, cafeterias, sports and excursion areas, as well as dormitory buildings. As if the park's own green area wasn't enough, there is also the green area on the opposite side of the park. Montsouris Park It is a paradise in itself.
If you are staying in this area or if you think you would enjoy breathing the free university atmosphere and wandering among interesting buildings in a lush green garden, I recommend you to stop by this way. You can enter the campus with a wave of your hands.; You can feel the life energy of the youth in the environment to your bones.

While I'm here again Maison de la Photographie Robert DoisneauYou may also want to see… There are more Butte aux Cailles, The Little Belt and much more...

An extremely serene and peaceful atmosphere awaits you in this world, which gives room for joy and pleasure, away from noise and fuss.
When you enter through the main gate, you directly reach the main building in the photo you see at the beginning of this article. There is a very nice student canteen inside this building. Here, a separate tariff is applied to students and to those coming from outside. I must admit that I felt nice when they saw me as a student and applied a discounted tariff :) There are many important facilities such as theatre, swimming pool and library in the same building. I recommend you to walk around the building without hesitation. While traveling, one misses his student days. Fortunately, I studied at a nice school for my time. Although I did not have the chance to have such a campus, our faculty building was quite magnificent and I enjoyed Istanbul's historical peninsula to the fullest. Still, when I saw this place... I don't know...
To wander around the garden, I recommend you first descend the stairs on the left and walk to the end of the path. Here, you may be interested in the homeland of England on the right, the homeland of Japan on the left, and then the homeland of Sweden. I recommend that you go to the back side of the road, next to the Swedish dormitory, and see the series of buildings by walking from behind.
There is already a wonderful grove and green area in the back. In this way, you walk to the other end. If you are not tired, you can exit the door, cross the road, and enter again from the opposite door to see the other part of the campus. The buildings of Greece and Armenia on that side are really interesting.
I believe that especially those who are considering studying abroad or looking for a place to send their children to study abroad will do their best to find a way to study in Paris when they visit this place...
