My life in Montpellier this summer was breath taking. The views, the food, the music, the friends. It was such an amazing opportunity to be able to travel abroad for a whole month!! I encourage every other student I know to take this opportunity while they can and to go experience life outside their comfort zone. -Madeleine Penton, 2018 Participant
"I have been wanting to get out of New Orleans since I was in high school, and I thought being anywhere else would have been better. Although the opportunity to experience France for a month was just the switch up I needed, I realized that the things I most enjoyed doing there on a day to day basis were things I could do at home in New Orleans. I could walk and catch the bus down town (or anywhere I want), and just hang out, observe, participate and really tune in to what's going on around me (like an anthropologist 😉)." - Zenobia Zeno from New Orleans
"I've learned a lot about myself, including the fact that I have a lot to learn! I'm definitely less intimidated by the idea of a foreign country. I'm eager to come back and share the experiences I had with my family."
- Melanie Russell from Covington, LA
"Spending a month in France gave me a chance to feel much stronger and more capable of taking on challenges because I had to learn to make it in a different culture. I learned so much about myself and fell in love with the French way of life. Magnifique!"
- Dina Desalvo from Conway, AR
"France has left me with many great memories. Montpellier is the perfect city for students. I have learned to go with the flow and have made friends for life."
