It was an incredible experience. I'm getting married a month after I returned, and it was my last chance to travel before that opportunity will be available again. It's worth it.

I learned an incredible amount about france, the culture, and even the language. What I learned is invaluable and I am very grateful I went. I would consider it worthwhile.

This was an amazing program and amazing opportunity. I loved living in Paris and I thought that the study abroad program was the perfect way to experience my first true abroad stay. I was able to integrate myself into the culture and language but also have support and help from my American classmates and professors. Kiana S - Brigham Young University View Entire Review

The first half of my program (6 weeks) was fantastic. I really liked the city and I was excited to speak the language as much as possible.

It was very worthwhile. I took a peek into another culture and saw how people live their lives. I also reaffirmed my love for French and intend to pursue it as a second major. A student - Brigham Young University View Entire Review
It was 100% worthwhile. I am pretty much broke at the moment, but I am a happier American, and a curious/engaged student. I want to travel more, and it was just an eye-opening experience, even though France is not THAT foreign-ey A student - Brigham Young University View Entire Review
I gained a new observation on life outside the United States. I learned about a new way of living and the immense history of a world superpower. It was absolutely worthwhile - the interaction with locals cannot be reproduced elsewhere. Fran D - Brigham Young University View Entire Review
