Paris III Sorbonne Nouvelle was Amazing Past Review

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

My art history professor at SBC was AMAZING.

On-site administration of your program

Not enough academic advisers. One adviser for 80 students. With only one one-on-one meeting with the adviser it was very difficult to choose classes at Paris III.

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

2 bedroom apartment in Paris a block form the Eiffel tower. Host mom and 2 host sisters. Host sisters shared a room and my mom's bed was in the living area. Small apartment, but did not seem crowded, unless there were a lot of visitors. I had my own large room and shared the one bathroom. Always clean and warm. <br /><br /> Location couldn't be beat and my family was so great. My host mom was an excellent cook.

I love french food! I do not have dietary restrictions but vegetarian friends on the program had no trouble in their living situations

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

I had so much fun, but was with my american friends all the time. We traveled and went out a night to plays, ballets, clubs, restaurants.

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

I never felt more unsafe than I would living in any city i.e I wouldn't want to walk home alone at 1 am but during the day and until 10:30 pm feel very comfortable.

(1 = not very easy/$200+ on food & personal expenses/week, 2.5 = $100/week, 5 = very easily/minimal cost)

Everyone in Paris speaks english. Menus in restaurants, public signs, and most stores all have english translations or english speaking servers/vendors. Spoke the most french with my host family.
