I SPOKE FRENCH BEFORE I WENT TO FRANCE, ALTHOUGH IT WAS NOT THE PROPER FRENCH (A FRENCH THAT HAS BEEN MODIFIED) I HAD NO PROBLEM AT ALL COMMUNICATING WITH THE FRENCH AT ANY LEVEL.

Overall
I wish I had known...

Final comments
I THINK EVERY STUDENT SHOULD SPEND A SEMESTER OR A YEAR ABROAD. IT WAS VERY ENTERTAINING. I DID NOT FEEL THAT I WAS GOING TO SCHOOL BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT AS MANY TESTS AND QUIZZES AS IN THE US. I WISH I HAD TRAVELED MORE BOTH INSIDE FRANCE AND IN EUROPE. SO BRING A LOT OF MANEY AND HAVE FUN!

Personal comments
i CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAME OF THE CAFE BUT I KNOW IT IS NOT FAR FROM LA RUE DU GROS HORLOGE. THAT IS WHERE WE USUALLY MEET SOME NIGHTS ESPECIALLY DURING THE WEEK-END.i DID NOT GO OUT THAT MUCH. WE USUALLY HAVE PRIVATE PARTIES AT HOME.I TRAVELED A LOT BUT MOST OF MY PERSONAL EXCURSIONS WERE OUTSIDE OF FRANCE. THE HOST UNIVERSITY HAD ORGANIZED THE LOCAL TRIPS FOR US. I THINK THAT I HAD VISITED ALMOST EVERYTHING THERE IS TO SEE AROUND PARIS, FROM THE EIFFEL TOWER TO MONT SAINT MICHEL TO THE LOIRE CHATEAUX.

Housing
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: With a family
Why?
THEY WERE VERY NICE TO ME AND IT IS GOOD TO BE WITH A FAMILY SO YOU CAN BE REALLY IMMERSED IN THE LANGUAGE AND CULTURE OF THE HOST COUNTRY.
