Past Review

By Stacey C (Mpa, The University of Texas at Austin) for

University of Texas - Austin: Paris - CIBER International Accounting Program

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?

It was definitely worthwhile. I loved how each city I visited was different. The French can be incredibly nice and wonderful if you show them you are making an effort to understand their culture. I saw so much history, and I had the most fun just wandering the streets without dealing with all the touristy attractions. I can't wait to go back.

Review Your Program

* Overall educational experience Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.	I liked the UT-taught class. It was so different from the normal classes at school. As for the other class taught by classes from the French university, I would have liked to be warned that they pretty much expected us to have taken advanced accounting. They talked a lot about consolidation of financial statements, and I was lost for a lot of the class.
* Housing: How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?	Residence Vivaldi 12th District <br /><br />
If you could do it all over again would you choose the same program?	Yes

Finances

Do you have any general money-saving tips for future study abroad participants?	I would reimburse students for the prepaid excursions they could not attend.
