French House

Students may apply for the privilege of living in the Macalester French House, where daily conversation and interaction with the Student Program Assistant and other students of French both improve oral proficiency in French and develop increased understanding of culture and society in France and other French-speaking regions.

Residents must speak French, participate in the weekly meal or cultural activity which is at the heart of the communal French-speaking experience, agree to live cooperatively and respect the rights of the other residents, and participate in the programs of the French House.

French House activities are of two types: activities that occur on a regular basis that are initiated by the Student Program Assistant and the house residents and approved by the French Department faculty liaison; and activities that are special events, sometimes arranged by the RA or the department of French & Francophone Studies or by Residential Life.
