An Anglophone In Paris, France.

My study abroad experience gave me the perspective I was lacking at home. I feel it has profoundly changed the direction of my life and made me realize things I might've never even thought about at home.

Aifs In Paris At The Sorbonne Was Awesome.

I learned a lot about myself, it was definitely worthwhile.

Paris, Je T'aime

I am more independent and confident--if I can figure out how to navigate and survive in a city where I hardly speak the language, I can sure as hell do anything I need to do here in America. It motivated me to learn French as well as I can, and it made me realize that there really are foreign people in the world--Americans tend ...

"Je Ne Regrette Rien!"

The reason I gave the program 4 stars and not 5 is only because I was disappointed with how much the other students in my program didn't care about school. Besides that, it was the best experience of my life so far, hands down. I plan to return in 2 years to study again at the Sorbonne in order to obtain a graduate degree. I lea...

Paris: Hard To Summarize In A Review

It was fun and memorable, but it did get frustrating at times. I loved it and I hated it. But the friendships I took away from my semester abroad made the experience definitely worth it.

Paris: Amazing! I Miss It And Can't Wait To Visit Again.

Absolutely. I learned so much about myself and really gained a lot of confidence. I also noticed how much American's stick out over there, and learned that you start to blend in rather quickly. We started to notice it too, when family from home would visit, a couple of us watched them and thought 'Man, is that what we looked l...

Paris Was The Best Decision I've Ever Made

I just loved being in Paris. The location of my hotel was great, I was informed where to go and what to do. If I went with the program leaders, events would be free. I did most of my learning on my own, though

You May Know Paris But You Don't Know Paree

Study Abroad in Paris was one of the most amazing experiences I've had so far. When you go abroad you have this idea of knocking out all the sights and you make a list of all the museums you're going to see. But once you get there you kind of realize that it's not all about sightseeing. It's more about just living there. You...

Paris: The City That (Literally) Never Sleeps And What I Learned

I thought the trip was amazing, and would do it again in a heartbeat. I was a little dissatisfied with my living arrangement (namely how small it was) but the program was well run, and the advisors overseas were wonderful. I learned a lot, especially in my interactions with other people, and would very much recommend the program...

The experience was life-changing and made me appreciate other cultures and my own a lot more. I've never been prouder to be an American.

(No Title)

Yes, very worthwhile. Don't regret anything, even if I do have a few minor complaints. I think I still have a lot to learn about myself and what I gained from the trip, I don't think I will entirely know for a while. I still need to see how things have effected me. I don't want to jump to conclusions on such an amazing once in a...
