HOUSING
by Emmanuelle, IGS Group ( Institut Gestion Social ) - CIEFA, Paris, France
Language, Au Pair Program ( Calvin Thomas Agency )
Personal assessment
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: With a family
Why? Because I had a chance to see what was the real American way of life.
Personal comments:
This was my first experience in america and I must say that the cliché of all Americans being "Too Proud" people is completely wrong. I was really surprised how people were open minded and curious. I would like to thank the people of the Pensacola University office of student housing for the excellent service I received. I was treated with dignity and courtesy.

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: English
Was learning English a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my English How much did you improve your English?
My level before: Basic phrases My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang) Personal comments:
I had the most fantastic time in Pensacola. It's a really strange and pleasant feeling to see how much you can learn in one year. You get to learn another way of life, another culture, another language , you meet new friends, you visit new cities but what I must say is that you learn a lot about yourself. You grow up and you change your way to judge people and situations. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
During my experience abroad, I ...

Good to save some money and before going back : rent a car and travel as far as you can go along the cost ...It's Florida, it never rains !
