Aix En Provence: La Vie Charmant

Studying abroad put a whole new emphasis on perspective and patience. Being in Aix for five months (I stayed longer after my program ended :)) was eye-opening and insightful. I learned to appreciate buying fresh produce daily (and to like vegetables!), to slow life down and take it in, and to be willing to see things from a diff...

The Time Of Your Life: Aix En Provence

I gained a stronger understanding of the world and of myself. I learned to view things from a wider perspective. The language and knowledge gained abroad landed me with my first job out of college with a French company and I still use the skills today in my current job.

Aix: Best Time Of My Life, I Wish I Had Stayed Longer!!

I had an amazing experience in Aix. My only regret is that I did not stay longer. Studying there gave me a deeper appreciation for the European culture, learning different languages, and meeting new people. It really opened me up to how many opportunities there are without overwhelming me. It was a very exciting time and it ...

Important Details About Life In Aix En Provence

I was able to go and do what I wanted. I was very passionate everyday about living in the dream I set up for myself; study-abroad. I explored, I traveled, I immersed myself, and not for a moment was I ever bored. Even when I went to class, I had fun just hearing the language. Being surrounded by foreignness was a wonderful thing...

Aix Is The Best

Living abroad as a young adult is invaluable. I do not think I would be as adaptable, open to new experiences, and able to get along with all sorts of people had I not studied abroad in college. My experience directly impacted my plans for the future-- I am in the middle of getting ready to move overseas to teach English.
