Being abroad is such a great learning experience. You learn how to adjust to a foreign city and immerse yourself in a new culture. It can be tough at times, but I grew so much and explored cities all around France and Europe. I would absolutely do it again in a heartbeat if I could. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
It was definitely worthwhile. While it is true that I learned about Parisian culture and life, I feel that the biggest thing that I learned was how to live with very little structure--I had almost complete freedom to do whatever I wanted.

Much better at French and much more self-confident. A student - Pomona College View Entire Review
I got to experience a new city, which was a good experience and not one I would have been able to have otherwise. Academically and professionally I did not gain much. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned to trust myself and my capabilities and my French improved a lot. It was extremely stressful and at times downright unpleasant, but I'm proud of myself and my commitment to learning. It WAS worth it, but I think the importance of support systems for students studying abroad needs to be underlined more than it was. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review

About
Designed for students at an advanced level of French, the Middlebury School in France provides opportunities to experience French culture in Paris - the cosmopolitan capital at the heart of France. La "Ville Lumière", Paris is home to countless museums, cafés, and medieval streets that wind around contemporary architecture. A city à decouvrir, Paris is an invitation to experience all the world's cultures while maintaining a proud and distinctly French feeling.
Students enroll in up to two Middlebury courses at the School in France headquarters, the Centre Madeleine, and take the rest of their courses at one of the many host universities in the city. At all sites, whether in a university course alongside local students, or at the Centre Madeleine, courses are conducted solely in French. Housing - with local families or in residences - is geared to provide students with an immersion in the language and culture outside of the classroom.
Le Centre Madeleine, the headquarters of the Middlebury School in France, is located in the 8th arrondissement, close to the Place de la Concorde and the Champs-Elysées. Students enroll in courses across several disciplines at both the Centre Madeleine and in one of several partner institutions: the Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, the Université Sorbonne Nouvelle Paris 3, Sorbonne Université, Université Paris Cité, Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris (Sciences Po), the Ecole Spéciale d'Architecture (ESA) (for Architecture majors only), the Schola Cantorum, or the Institut Catholique de Paris (for Religion majors only).
