Maison Française
Department-sponsored La Maison Française is a residential program in Riverbend Commons for incoming first-year freshmen and PSEO students (including students whose native language is French). The program is open to students across all colleges who have a background in French and would like to maintain and improve their language skills by living in an environment where priority is given to communicating in French. The program’s goal is to create a French-speaking community for students who wish to incorporate French into their academic, personal and professional development.
La Maison Française provides opportunities for social events, study groups, and interaction with French faculty throughout the year, all conducted in French.
