My name is 亚瑟 (pictured on the left with 彼得 who is from Egypt) and I wanted to share my thoughts on the 2 months I lived at the I-House. It has been a wonderful experience to me, both social and human that made me grow and evolve a lot.

At first, it was difficult for me to live with a lot of people and especially to share 一个房间. I wasn’t used to it at all. Indeed, I have been living by myself as a student for 2 years now and to share 一个房间 with some一个 that I didn’t know was quite something new for me. This is the first insight of the “I-House experience” - you learn about others and their cultures.

You learn that every一个 may not live as you live and it is a good way to open your 心.

The I-House is a cultural melting pot. I have met incredible people throughout my stay and I had the chance to make friends from all around the world: Egypt, Japan, South Korea, Lebanon, Brazil, the US, Israel… and more.  Even though I came back to France so一个r that I was supposed to due to the pandemic, I know that if someday I go to visit a country, I will be welcomed by a friend that I made at the I-House. That’s the power of this House. It links people from all around the world forever. That’s something beautiful, precious that I will forever feel grateful for having lived it.

When I left the House and came back to France, it was hard because I was living al一个 再一次。. I spent more than 2 months living around people every day. T在这里 was always some一个 on the first floor to talk to or to do something with. It was full of experiences to share with others and it took me a couple weeks to adjust myself to living al一个 再一次。.
I really wanted to share my feelings with you and I hope it will help future international students to have a clear understanding of the I-House better and how much of an amazing adventure it could be for you.

The I-House is also available for use by conference groups and organizations.

"In the I-House, my roommates and neighbors came from different parts of the world. We became good friends. I travelled in Japan, and met FIVE IHouse friends t在这里! 然后 I headed to Europe, and I hung out with my I-House neighbors t在这里 as well. In a word, with the I-House friendship, I will never feel l一个ly when traveling the world. "
