I think it was worthwhile, but it could've been a lot better. It is definitely what you make of it, but at times I was so bored in Aix with my classes and just day-to-day life. I very much enjoyed being busy and traveling. Alexandra O - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Yes! Travelling was a dream! I really learned about living with other people, too. Having a roommate in your own apartment and living in your own apartment is really not the same as a dorm. I think I really learned the responsibilities of real life. Culturally, travelling really opened my world, and I loved it! Heather L - Wellesley College View Entire Review
It was. I learned a lot about myself, most of which are things about myself that I'm not willing to share. Katherine P - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I gained so much from the program. Great improvement in French, experience traveling alone, experience in practical things like living on my own, etc. I think I am now much more independent. Eleanor F - Wellesley College View Entire Review
