Wanna have a life changing experience? Go to Paris through BIST!!! Past Review
By A student (Berea College) - abroad from 05/07/2012 to 05/30/2012 with
Berea College: Paris - The Wonders of Paris
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
It was definitely worthwhile. I got to experience the culture, language, art and architecture of not only Paris, but also Chartres and Reims. I also learned that even though we all come from a specific country/culture, we all have things in common, and sometimes u get impressed of how alike people can be, in a good way of course :)
