A STUDENT’S FEEDBACK

In the beginning of the trip, I was a bit anxious considering the small group actually attending from UD; however, as I went through the program I realized that it was best this way. Overall, the study abroad program allowed me to push myself not only academically, but also mentally and made me go out of my comfort zone to do things I never imagined doing in my current situation. Needless to say, it was one of the best experiences of my life thus far. The educational part of the program was also amazing. Lastly, the homestay part of the program was a great decision made by the University of Dallas. It was really nice to experience life as a typical French person would. I was introduced to a lot more than just French living and I was able to learn a lot more than just French. PARIS PRE-PROGRAM STAY (OPTIONAL):
