Paris: Living The Dream

Living abroad made me realize how much I'd like to repeat the experience. I loved learning a new language and cultural customs. The history and art in Paris had me looking up everywhere I went.

Parisian At Heart

Yes, I am certainly more aware of French and world cultural issues and differences now and I also feel that I have gained a lot of confidence from the experience, not to mention friends who I experienced an amazing semester with. I hope to go back to Paris, if not to live there for more time, than certainly as a visitor!

Tufts In Paris: Learning To Be Independent In The City Of Lights

I am more independent and confident in myself. I can live on my own in a big city, fly on airplanes by myself, take public transportation, and navigate it all in a foreign language. I definitely gained an international perspective. America bores me- I need to see more places and do more things!

Tufts In Paris: Life à La Francaise

The experience is what you make of it. I believe that you can get as much as you want out of a study abroad regardless which program you go on. It is really a question of what the student puts into it.

Paris

Sciences Po was an interesting experience but I don't think I would enroll there again.

I Got To Experience Paris As How A Parisian Sees It, Not A Tourist.

The experience was absolutely worthwhile. I experienced a major tourist destination as a resident sees it, I greatly improved my language skills, and I got to study art history in one of the most art-filled cities in the world.

Tufts In Paris: Trying To Learn How To Love Living Amongst The Frenchies

Absolutely. I definitely came out of my America-centric bubble and got to look at my home country from the perspective across the frog pond. I wouldn't take any of my experience back - it was all well worth it.

Paris: Awesome, But Feels Like A Dream

Yes, it was extremely worthwhile. I learned a lot more about French cultural specifically and foreign culture in general. It was great to just interact with new people, speak a new language, and travel to parts of the world I had never seen.

Semester In Paris: From Boston To A Boulangerie

Going to Paris offered a very Western-focused study abroad experience, and in one sense I regret that I didn't choose a French-speaking country that was more 'off the beaten path' and might broaden my perspective more than a semester in Paris. On the other side, I got to see the Eiffel Tower at least twice a day, eat some of the...

Yes. I gained fabulous written and verbal communications skills, got to know what i now consider to be my favorite city, and made a ton of friends who I am still friends with on campus now!

It was definitely worthwhile, I gained a better knowledge of french culture, french people and everything associated with a typical study abroad experience. It's just that Paris was probably not my favorite city.

I gained a lot of confidence in my French language skills, independence in foreign places (I travelled solo a lot), and some maturity in dealing with situations that I was uncomfortable with. Paris is a wonderful place and I hope I can come back soon.

It was worthwhile. I grew as person. I became more independent and self-sufficient. Furthermore, my language skills improved dramatically!
