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...

It’s always interesting to be in another country, particularly because it is when I reaches my identity and how I view/and how I’m viewed outside of the American context. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review

I took Art History classes for my minor that were extremely immersive in a way that surpassed the department at my home institution. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
It was worth discovering the French art, visiting the museums, and getting to speak in French again. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned a lot more about myself and was able to take the time to do non-academic things which felt very worthwhile to me. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review

Independence, cultural immersion A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I got to meet a lot of new people from a ton of new places that I'll never forget and I got to travel a lot A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I found it an incredibly worthwhile experience in terms of personal growth and the ability to navigate a new culture and new people and traveling like I have never had the opportunity to do before. I say that I wouldn't choose this program again because I think I would have liked to be in a program more immersed in French langua... A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I mostly enjoyed the culture and food, but I also learned how Parisians live--everyday and overall, which prompted me to reevaluate how I live. A student - 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
It was incredibly worthwhile. I learned different languages, traveled, made friends, and worked on the side at Fashion Week. I loved AUP, Paris and the friends I made along the way. Anonymous - American University of Paris View Entire Review
Had a good time getting to know the city and people Sarah Winshel - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I was exposed to a lot and felt as though I was truly living alone. Worthwhile experience. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned how to be more independent, how to savor the present moment, and to embrace the culture you're surrounded by. Hayley Liebenow - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I became much more independent, more flexible, more street smart, more mature, and more culturally knowledgeable. I hadn't been able to travel much before this semester, but had always wanted to, and by being in a major global metropolis central to Europe, I had the opportunity to see a lot of beautiful and amazing places on a ...

Among other cultural differences, I have witnessed a very different medical system while France. This is interesting information to bring back t the US. The treatment of food and drink it also quite different. But the thing I most cherish, was the opportunity to be a foreigner and to learn a new language: it is like being given ...

Amazing travel opportunities! A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned more French, got to travel a lot, see new places and cultures, and experienced incredible things; it was definitely worthwhile. Claire Devlin - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned that American Superiority exists, that Western cultures are extremely similar fundamentally, but on the surface appear very different, and patience. Mostly, I learned to expand my worldview from my college experience, and question the things that I had previously taken as truths. I have to say that my travels and my fr...
