I gained so much insight about myself and the way I interact in situations where I don't know the native language. I got pushed out of my comfort zone so many times but the experience showed me I could face any situation I was given. MaKenzie C - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I was able to gain a better sense of how the cultural identity in the new destinations that I visited are intertwined with the shaping of economic and social growth. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned that I am capable of going to a foreign country with a foreign language and surviving (and thriving). This was something I was nervous about, but overall I have learned that it is okay to be uncomfortable. This was a worthwhile experience and I'd tell anyone who was questioning whether to go or not to take the leap and... Alina W - Wellesley College View Entire Review

It was worthwhile. I was able to relax and not take any science courses (I am a science major) while I was abroad so that was very rejuvenating and a great change in pace. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review

For me, this was a unique experience as I got to immerse myself in a different part of France. I grew up in the suburbs of Paris but had never lived in the city. Sophie Lemmerman - Wellesley College View Entire Review
This was a great opportunity to experience Paris and travel. The classes are not as vigorous as Wellesley, but the professors are nice and courses are interesting. The best thing about AUP is the location. It is located in the 7th arrondissement, and the apartments are not too far. I was also able to travel a lot and experienced...
