Paris: A Chance to Grow Past Review
By Stacy W (Education, French, SUNY - College at Oswego) for
MICEFA: Paris - Study Abroad at University of Paris VIII
I learned a lot of other cultures and about myself. It was difficult transitioning but in the end was worth the hard work.

Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
We were strongly discouraged against taking regular classes with the french students, but were instructed it would be best to take the FLE classes which were geared towards foreigners. But the FLE were way too easy and required little work. I do not feel that I learned much in any of the classes. |
