Fall 2023 Participant
One thing that I wish I knew before leaving for the program, was to try not to replicate my American life while in France. Although it is important to carry over some of my habits, I was able to get more out of the program by living a more French style life. After all, it really is about experiencing another culture; not just living my American life abroad.

I found the September month intensive to be the most rewarding part of this program. The intensive French month was a great introduction to the French language and culture. I learned an extraordinary amount of things within this month, and it eased me into my study abroad experience. It was a quick run-down of systems in France and a refresher of French basics.

This program plunges you into French culture and the French language in the best way possible. My semester taught me so much in what seemed like no time at all. Angers is an incredible city that is warm and inviting. There was always much to do around town, and the seasonal events hosted by the city always made for a great time. The university had kind and considerate staff and teachers that connected with the students. The classrooms and courses were designed to suit your level and interests. There is truly no better way to learn French than through this program and through exploring the city of Angers. This program could not have been better, it was the perfect mix between educational and fun!
