During this period, the university offers a program rich in discoveries and conviviality.
Students who come individually and on an exchange program will be able to take advantage of these days to discover the university, the city of Lille, and French culture.

The services of the Maison Internationale
The Ressourcerie
In partnership with the Maison Internationale and the L.I.S.A (Lille International Students Association), the Ressourcerie aims to help and support the international students of the University of Lille based on a simple principle.
Students or staff of the university wishing to give up some objects they no longer use can go to the ressourcerie to donate them. The type of object can vary from kitchen utensils to household linen and small pieces of furniture. The resourcerie then recovers these items and redistributes them to international students who need them.
This project is part of an eco-responsible and solidarity-based approach and will allow the recycling of objects.
If you are interested in the project, the Ressourcerie is located in Building A4 on the Cité Scientifique Campus.
Opening hours: Tuesday from 9am to 12pm and Thursday from 1pm to 4pm

The Computer Room
The Maison internationale has a computer room with 10 computers and scanners. This room is freely accessible to all students who wish to come and do research or study.
