Private park and foundation in Paris, France From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cité internationale universitaire de Paris or the Cité universitaire (CIUP, Cité U) is a university campus, a private park and foundation located in Paris, France. Since 1925, it has provided general and public services, including the maintenance of several dozen residences housing around 6,000 students and visiting academics in the Île-de-France region. Officially recognized as a foundation of public interest, the CIUP promotes exchanges between students from around the world in a spirit of tolerance.[1]

The Cité universitaire de Paris is administered by the CIUP foundation, and the universities of Paris own the campus. They are represented by the Chancellery of the Universities of Paris, which sits on the foundation's board of directors.[2]
The Cité internationale universitaire de Paris was established after World War I by André Honnorat, rector at the Sorbonne, in cooperation with Émile Deutsch de la Meurthe, in order to create a meeting place for students, researchers and intellectuals from around the world in a spirit of peace, unity and friendly cooperation. The CIUP was originally built for the University of Paris, hence its name appears in several of its buildings, notably the Maison Internationale. Most of the buildings constructed for the University of Paris are now owned by the Chancellerie des Universités de Paris.[3]
Several CIUP structures have been designed by architects of note, such as Le Corbusier, Willem Marinus Dudok, Heydar Ghiai and Claude Parent. The residences are organized mostly by nationality, although residents in each maison are not necessarily from the countries implied by building names. Up to 30%-50% of the student residents in each residence may come from different nationalities. In 2006, students of 132 different nationalities lived in the Cité Internationale. In the early 21st century, the CIUP acquired two residences outside its original perimeter, in the 19th arrondissement of Paris.[4]
Alongside two stadiums on campus, the CIUP has direct access to the Stade Sébastien Charléty, a 20.000 seats stadium which is the house of Paris Université Club, the sport club of the Université de Paris, which is located across the street.
Located in the 14th arrondissement of Paris, the CIUP is bounded to the south by the Boulevard Périphérique, the busy ring road encircling Paris, and to the north (in part) by the 38-acre Parc Montsouris. It is served by the Cité Universitaire station of the RER B and the Cité Universitaire stop on the T3a tramway. .
