I gained a lot of confidence from knowing I could take care of myself without the aid of my parents. I was happy to have improved my language skills and made friends with a number of interesting and supportive people. I had a lot of fun and would absolutely do it over again.

Studying abroad completely changed my life. Paris is just beautiful, and you will never get bored there. I am planning to go back for a year after I graduate. You grow a lot as a person from living abroad (basically on your own), and your French will improve enormously. Linda L - Tufts University View Entire Review
Firstly, my French improved ten-fold. I have always longed to travel but now it is more of a priority. I also have a much better understanding of France and how France views itself and other countries. I also have a much better perception of the US and how lucky we are to be Americans.

- it was absolutely rewarding and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Who would not want to spend five months in the beautiful city of Paris, surrounded by such friendly people? I have learned many new things about a very interesting culture, and have experienced things that many people do not experience in their whole lifetime....

I learned a lot of little differences that I didn't know existed. I learned a lot of French. I made a bunch of friends but other than that it's hard to nail down exactly what I gained from it right at this moment. Aaron V - SUNY - Binghamton View Entire Review
100%. i had an incredible experience, although most of it had little to do with classes or any of that. it's just a fantastic opportunity to live abroad, etc.... Roi C - SUNY - Binghamton View Entire Review

I would definitely chose the same program again. My French language skills improved drastically and my knowledge of the French culture increased as well. Natalia J - SUNY - Binghamton View Entire Review
It was very worthwhile. I'm glad I chose Paris, there's so much to see and do here. I became more independent and my language abilities improved a lot. I worked and took classes and met lots of new people. Rachel P - SUNY - Binghamton View Entire Review
To the first: yes. To the second: I learned more about France / French, myself, and the world in general, than any other 4 month period in my life. Gane D - SUNY - Binghamton View Entire Review
I loved being abroad. It made me appreciate home more; I also fell in love, made great friends, lived in a large city, learned a little French, and built up my resume! Kristen G - SUNY - Binghamton View Entire Review
About
The Oswego-Binghamton-Geneseo Paris program, established in 1969, is the oldest undergraduate overseas French program in the SUNY system. The program provides an enriching academic experience through exposure to noted French professors and the vast cultural resources of Paris. Although greater proficiency in French is the common goal of all participants, not all participants are French majors. Students follow a curriculum at the Cours de Civilisation Française de la Sorbonne based on their preparation in French, interests, and the results of evaluation tests that are given upon their arrival in Paris. Students of all French language levels are welcome to apply and follow the English option, no experience necessary. Upon successful completion of course work, students will receive a Certificat/Diplome of Cours de Civilisation Française de la Sorbonne.
