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.

Summer 2023 Participant
I had a lot of financial anxiety during this trip. Paying for the program was one thing. It was about the same feeling as paying for college tuition and such. I had also applied for scholarships. Many of them were closed because I applied later in the year, so I definitely recommend to start planning in the fall semester, even if it is a summer program and especially if you want to visit museums and other countries. Anyway, once I got there, spending on money something necessary like lunch for the day made me panic. It took me a while to accept that spending money, even without an income at the time, was okay. It sounds very cliche, but you will make the money back. You have the rest of your life to work. You never know if will be young and in a different country with new friends and new experiences around every corner. Even if you're like me and it takes you three of the four weeks to realize it, I promise that seven euro student lunch deal is worth 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.
