It was the most amazing adventure. I wish I could go back. It helped me learn French, give me confidence, and expose me to other cultures and real world experiences. Kathleen1 - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
My French is much better and I am a more confident traveler. Kathleen1 - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
It was definitely worthwhile. I loved it, and I want to go back. I only wish my program had had other international students instead of just Americans. Chelsea C - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review

A new outlook on me, America, the world, and other people and cultures. Philip P - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
Very worthwhile, gained an enormous amount of self-understanding and a sensitivity to the subtleties of culture. Caleb S - University of Hartford View Entire Review
Maybe some things about the IES program could have been better, but many other things could have been worse. It's worth it just to go and see what happens. The program enabled me to go to Paris, which is what I really wanted. It also enabled me to travel outside of Paris, which was something else I wanted. I got what I wante...

I have decided against teaching foreign language, due to my internship experience, and now am more focused on my goal of working with an NGO. I am grateful for this because I can now narrow my options and will not be committed to a year or more of a job that does not suit me. Katie H - Austin College View Entire Review
Yes it was completely worth while. I met a ton of amazing people, saw amazing world-known buildings and art work. It was a fantastic experience and now I can say that I live in Paris for 4 months! Lauren P - Trinity University View Entire Review
I definitely think about my life in Texas more globally. I learned a lot more about the world and new ways to approach my life. Elizabeth S - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
YES. I am now a huge study abroad advocate. I think that everyone should live in a different culture, because you learn a lot about yourself, about your relationships, about your goals, and about other people. I am looking for a way to move back to Europe after college, and would love to live there permanently. Living in Par... Sarah S - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
Overall, loved it; wasn't always perfect but really improved my French and gave me experience living abroad. Always smart to try different lifestyle. Mylinh T - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
It was definitely worthwhile. I know I don't want to live in a big city now. I improved my French a lot, but I really tried - not everyone does. emily w - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
Yes! I loved my experience!! I loved Paris and my homestay family, but I did not like the cold weather and long winter. Also, I did not love the other students in my program. Molly B - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
My study abroad experience was very worthwhile. I gained a greater perspective on life, politics, culture, and the world in general. Through living in a different country, you see how different your life could possibly be. It was a very enlightening experience that allowed me to see different places, cultures, and things. Stephanie G - Ithaca College View Entire Review
There is nothing I would change. I loved every minute of it. The only thing I regret is that it ended so soon. Although, living for a semester in Paris is more than I ever dreamed I would be able to do, so I made the most of it. I am meeting up with friends from the program in a few days, and I definitely plan on going back ... bebesasa - Tulane University View Entire Review
