Study Abroad at University of Paris III Past Review
By Azim P (International Relations and Affairs., Tufts University) for
Tufts Programs Abroad: Tufts in Paris
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
It was definitely worthwhile, I gained a better knowledge of french culture, french people and everything associated with a typical study abroad experience. It's just that Paris was probably not my favorite city.
