My comprehension of french improved a ton. But my french overall saw a lot of improvement also. I got really close to a family (who's not my host family) and have great memories and friendships with them. You learn a lot overall. Tori S - Truman State University View Entire Review
Where do I start? It think the primary thing is perspective. Most Americans have nothing other than a strictly American perspective: this is not the case with other countries. We're a country often perceived as ignorant, and unfortunately it's often true. Getting out of my paradigm and seeing life from the other side of the worl...

I learned a lot about the culture and lifestyle. I plan to return to France to visit more of the country. Elizabeth K - Truman State University View Entire Review
My language speaking skills grew 100000%. After going to Angers, I feel like I can move anywhere and I wiould be able to take care of myself. You learn a new sense of independence and responsibility. The people you will meet with challenge and test your mind in the healthiest way possible. You will come back a changed person! Mischa Z - Virginia Commonwealth University View Entire Review

I learned a lot about myself and how I operate under certain circumstances, like trying to solve problems in another language and with other people that don't have the same background as myself. I also learned better how to plan for trips and how to better manage money. But I learned all of this in a fun, fairly stress-free mann... Renae H - University of North Dakota View Entire Review
I definitely learned a great deal about the culture in France and I really loved it. I hope to come back and maybe teach English. I felt less stressed and more worried about appreciating the life around me and all the "petits plaisirs". Jessica N - Illinois State University View Entire Review
Absolutely! My study abroad experience was the best one so far during my academic career. Nothing can give you the same linguistic benefit as studying in a country that speaks the foreign language you are stuyding--nothing! Plus, it changes the way you look at global affairs, and even your own country. Kelli C - Truman State University View Entire Review
TOTALLY worthwhile. It was something that completely changed my life, made me a more confident and well-rounded person and made me a much more independent woman who is not afraid to do what I want! Victoria H - Illinois State University View Entire Review

About
Studying in France gives you the opportunity to explore a unique cultural and historical heritage. Over the years, France has acquired a reputation for its art of living, traditionally consisting of fine and sophisticated food, fashion and perfumes. It is proud of its state-of-the-art science and management techniques. France is a safe, reassuring country that welcomes visitors warmly and offers an exceptional high level of welfare and lifestyle.
Our main university campus, UCO Angers, is situated in heart of the Loire Valley, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its outstanding cultural landscape of great beauty, containing historic towns and villages and great architectural monuments (the châteaux). Angers is a very green city with a vibrant student life, which can easily be reached by high speed train (1,5 hours from Paris).
With more than 10,000 students on campus, following courses in our six schools and our International Center of French as a Foreign Language (CIDEF), you will for sure find yourself in a multicultural and inspiring learning environment.
We are looking forward to meet you!
