The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is a small landlocked country in western Europe, bordered by the countries of Belgium, France, and Germany. Despite its small size, the physical landscape of Luxembourg ranges from rolling hills, castles, and picturesque villages to industrialized, metropolitan areas. It has a population of under a half a million people in an area of approximately 999 square miles.

While Luxembourg is one of Europe’s smallest countries, it is noted for its multilingual and multicultural society. Luxembourgers all speak several languages including Luxembourgish, French, German, and English. Home to major international banking, financial, and communication companies, Luxembourg is also the location of a number of European Union institutions, including the European Court of Justice.

Luxembourgers have a genuine affection for Americans and have special ties with ºÚÁÏÉçÇø. Many citizens remember with gratitude that the American forces liberated their country during World Wars I and II. John Dolibois, for whom the European campus is named, was born in Luxembourg, immigrated to the U.S., came to Miami as a ºÚÁÏÉçÇø in 1938, and returned to his homeland as U.S. ambassador during the 1980s.

Did you know that Differdange, where the Château is located, is sister cities with Oxford, Ohio?

Situated in a park at the center of Differdange, Luxembourg, is MUDEC’s Château de Differdange, a 15th-century castle modernized to meet the needs of a 21st-century education.

In addition to six classrooms equipped with smartboards, the Château is equipped with Wi-Fi, and includes an extensive upper-foyer lounge, a library, a few smaller classrooms, the grande salle des fêtes (the Grand Hall), additional study lounges, staff and faculty offices, residences for members of faculty and staff, and of course, the Cave.

The Cave is MUDEC’s ºÚÁÏÉçÇø lounge (once the Château’s wine cellar): a comfortable, quiet, ºÚÁÏÉçÇø space. Furnished with couches, tables, a study area, a TV, and Wi-Fi access, ºÚÁÏÉçÇøs can relax, do homework, and plan weekend adventures. The Cave has a kitchen equipped with plates, silverware, pots and pans, microwaves, refrigerators, and a small dining area. You can also find laundry facilities, lockers, a foosball table, a pool table, and vending machines in the Cave as well.

Program fees include a meal plan, which provides lunches (everyday classes are held) prepared by our chef, Mr. Stephane Romanazzi, at the Château. The Dolibois Center can accommodate vegetarian and vegan preferences and food allergies. Students living with host families also have a continental breakfast provided on Monday through Thursday. Students living in apartments do not have any breakfast provided but have access to kitchens. Dinners are not included in the meal plan, but ºÚÁÏÉçÇøs have options: they can cook in the ºÚÁÏÉçÇø kitchen in the Cave, they can cook in apartment kitchens if they live there, they can enjoy leftovers from lunch, or eat at nearby restaurants. During independent travel on weekends, ºÚÁÏÉçÇøs can explore authentic European cuisine: think pasta in Italy, croissants in France, or pretzels in Germany!

, a large supermarket and shopping mall with stores and restaurants, is just minutes by foot from the Château. Students can also hop on the train and explore more options in Belval as well as Luxembourg City.
