France: Challenging Yet Eye Opening Past Review
By Amanda L (Elementary & Early Childhood Education, Pennsylvania State University - Altoona) for
Penn State Altoona: Paris - Language, Culture and Cuisine
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I learned about French history and culture. I also learned that French people are very nice, despite stereotypes that say they are stuck up and rude.
