Yes, this was definitely worthwhile. My language skills improved greatly and it was wonderful to experience another culture. I had been studying abroad that previous year in Malta, so it was nice to compare and contrast American, Maltese, and French culture. I definitely have a better understanding and outlook on my major (Gl... Anne S - George Mason University View Entire Review
I loved it mostly for my host family. My french improved greatly and I learned that I absolutely LOVE trains! Because of my experience there, I've become less afraid of being independent and am less afraid of the big world than I was. Kaylin F - Susquehanna University View Entire Review
Europe is so different from the US. It is good to get out of the bubble and get an idea what the real world is like. This should be a life-time expeirence. Wenqing Y - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I don't think that I've changed and those closest to me have noted the same thing. My study abroad experience turned out to be more introspective than anything else for me. The program was tough but that was not the only thing I remember about living in France. One of the things that I'm most proud of is not having lived in Pari...

I was able to have some incredible experiences on my study abroad program, despite not liking the program that I was in. I met lifelong friends and I traveled to some beautiful places that I will always remember. I would absolutely recommend going on a study abroad program to other students.

For a freshman, this was a great chance to go abroad. As a junior, I might not have done it. I learned incredibly about the French atmosphere and culture... Abigail P - Tulane University View Entire Review
Absolutely. I learned that I truly am capable of anything I set my mind to - I not only survived, but flourished living with a French family, taking a full course load in French...From a cultural perspective, I gained a better understanding of why French culture is what it is, and that 'different' does, in no way, mean 'worse.' ...

Spending my junior year abroad was arguably the best decision I ever made, and I wouldn't change a thing. I learned so much, and next to none of it was in the class room. Carpe diem! Emma H - Tufts University View Entire Review

I have gained confidence in what I have to offer in any company Yaba A - Wellesley College View Entire Review
My abroad experience was nothing short of wonderful. It helped me not only to understand many other cultures, but better understand my own. I also thought I was very independent, but I am now so much more independent, and am very comfortable with who I am. Laura B - Providence College View Entire Review
Yes, it was about 50% of the time. I learned more colloquial french, nothing about grammar. I would not go again. Tracy k - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I became more confident, not only in my language skills, but also in myself. I learned a lot about myself and my culture, as well as French culture, that I hadn't thought about before. It was truly a rewarding experience. I hope to return to France, someday soon. Meredith P - Austin College View Entire Review
Very worthwhile. Was only in Paris for 4 weeks, I could have stayed there for another month! Gained independence and a new aspect on different issues and views in a different part of the world. Samantha H - Elmira College View Entire Review
I think it had a significant impact on my life. Not only did I benefit from the language skills for my major but I think it helped me grow as a person in general. I now feel much more independent and aware. I feel like I see the world in a different way and have more open way of dealing with things. It also helped me to focu...

I would do it again. Obviously there were some things that i didn't like or that bothered me but overall the city was amazing, my french definitely improved and i plan on doing a semester abroad somewhere in france again. Emma G - Trinity University View Entire Review
