Summer 2024 Participant
As a more introverted person, staying with a host family was intimidating. I had no idea where I was staying, what the living situation was like, or if my host parent and I would get along. Throughout my stay there were many uncomfortable situations and it felt weird staying in someone else's house; however, I continued to converse with my host mom. This was not always easy, but by the end my host mom and I were spending time together outside of dinners and she even showed me how to make a few things in the kitchen. I truly believe this demonstrates how perseverance is crucial in both studying abroad and in life. You cannot overcome the scary or uncomfortable unless you pursue it.

Summer 2023 Participant
I found the schooling part of the program to be the most rewarding in an academic sense. The quality of schooling at the Etoile Institute was top tier, and I loved my teacher. I felt like I learned the language and a lot of culture.

Summer 2023 Participant
I definitely saw the most reward at the end of the trip, academically and culturally. Academically, of course, was when I received my grade for the final exam and I passed. Even though I had taken French exams before at KU, this one was different. It was actually for the language institute in Paris and it had been a condensed course. Culturally, it was when I realized how naturally and easily I could travel around Paris and interact with people. Whether it was riding the metro, ordering a meal in French and getting a response in French, or just sitting and understand what was happening around me. I felt so good about the fact I had learned to be a part of a completely different culture and lifestyle.
