Interpreters and Conference Interpreting

I'm thinking of applying to ETI next year - does anybody know if they offer funding? I couldn't afford to live in Geneva without some help!

Thanks,

Mark

Why not contact them directly?
As far as I know, most of the classes during the first year take place in the evening in order to allow students to take a part time job (that is what is written on their homepage).

Thanks Jellyfish - I'm scared to call them because my spoken French is a bit rusty, but I have to work on it for ETI anyway so I'll give them a call

I hear a lot of people studying or working in Geneva live and do their shopping across the border in France, where things are far cheaper. You could look into that option...

I come from the east of France and one of my best friends studies in Geneva (Drama, not Interpreting). She lives in a shared appartment, and the rent is not that high (or maybe she thinks so because she comes from Paris). Daily commuting from France would mean a cheaper rent but you would lose a couple of hours a day, so I am not sure it is an option if you need to study a lot AND work. But a weekly trip to the next French supermarket is definitely a good idea, especially since most shops in Geneva close ridiculously early in the evening. Shops do close ridiculously early in rural France as well, by the way, so you would have to do the shopping on Saturday...morning.
That said, Geneva is a beautiful city, 3 hours from Paris by TVG.
