But, is it too expensive?

Why Dijon?
In four short weeks it is easy to get to know and love this lovely city. With a population of approximately 150,000, it is a small, manageable city, rich in history as well as street markets, outdoor concerts, theatre and of course, cafes and, restaurants. The program which is sponsored by the Universite of Bourgogone invites students on evening tours of the city and weekend day trips to the Burgundy region, including Beaune and Vezelay. -
What about housing and food?
Housing costs are reasonable. You may choose to stay in the dorm (single room with bed, desk, sink, shower/toilet down the hall) for approx. $400 or you might choose to stay with a French family (a great way to learn French and experience French culture), arranged through the university. Room and board (breakfast and dinner) with a family would cost approximately $800 for the month. If you stay in the dorm, there are small kitchens on each floor available for home cooking, or meals are served in the dorm social/dining room at a reasonable price. -
