It was incredible. I have wanted to go Paris since I was 6 years old and it exceeded all my expectations. I fell in love with this city and I learned to put myself out there and be confident in trying new things, going to new places, and meeting new people. Sarah Joseph - Saint Joseph's University View Entire Review
The classes were engaging and the small size allows you to interact with both the professors, which come from prestigious universities around France, as well as the students. Coming from a university with larger class sizes, this was something I appreciated. The classes also offered excursions; I went to the cinema with my Frenc...

I learned so much about myself as an individual learning to navigate new situations from travelling to being in a place where they don't speak English. The biggest thing I gained was the lifelong friends I made. It was without a doubt worthwhile. Alyssa - Villanova University View Entire Review

I learned to step outside of my comfort zone and it was very worth it. A student - Occidental College View Entire Review
I mostly gained confidence in myself. Prior to going abroad I had never really taken public transportation or spoken French outside of French class! Going out of your comfort zone is completely worthwhile and it's incredible to see in myself how much I've grown in just half a year! Jacquelyn Anderson - University of Puget Sound View Entire Review

I learned independence, adaptability, and how to be Parisian! It was the most worthwhile thing I have ever done Cassidy Basinski - Loyola University Chicago View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself abroad. I learned how to take days for myself and go to a museum alone if I couldn't find anyone to join me when I was free. I learned how to live away from my family and friends and to be more independent. It was definitely worthwhile, everyone should study abroad. katie.samuelsen - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review

These sites are emblems of France’s history, but today Paris is one of the most important business, financial, and political centers of the world. It has one of the highest GDPs of any city and is home to Fortune Global 500 companies that specialize in insurance, banking, and energy. As an important location in the European Union, Paris is also home to international agencies such as the European Institute for Security Studies, the OECD, and UNESCO.
