Paris -- Past Review
By Kate T (Business, California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo) for
ISA Study Abroad in Paris, France
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
The experience was a life changing experience. ISA was a fantastic program. They were very helpful and were there as much or as little as you needed them to be. American Business school had inadequate facilities, and some inadequate professors. However, it was very international which served to be a great learning experience.
