Personal recommendation
If you are motivated, independent and can afford the tuition (it is less than most American universities but is not cheap, it is comparable to most study abroad programs in Paris AYA excepted), I don't think there is a better program. If gives you access to virtually every academic possibility, and lets you free to explore and discover. Many abroad programs are camps abroad for partiers. CUPA is for motivated students who want to have a lot a fun learning to live and love and new culture.

Course recommendations
CUPA's courses that is offers are excellent. The courses I took at Paris IV, was pretty disapointing. I think if I were to go again I would enroll in a Licence level rather than a DEUG level because the quality of the class is often much better. The Sorbonne, however, I found rather traditional in its approach to literature and the lectures not too stimulating. I was, however, able to make some good French friends in my TD (travaux dirigés). and Paris III, on the other hand, was very challenging. The class was large, 50 students, but the professor who has now unfortunately left to the Sorbonne (his name is Patrick Dandrey) was excellent. He was a bit tyrannical but I learned an incredible amount in his course and there was good interaction which is rare in a French university course.
