Study Abroad Students Explore Paris |
Monday, 22 September 2014 |
This 15-week program, conducted at AGS in partnership with the , alternates classroom study of French language and international relations, with site visits to see and experience firsthand what is taught in the classroom. Previous visits have included such places as the Louvre, the Arènes de Lutèce, the Catacombs, and the Pompidou Museum of Modern Art. The students have also taken advantage of one of the weekends to do a side trip to Barcelona. Alyssa Barilotti, a student from who is spending her semester in Paris through this program, says: "My experience while studying abroad in the AGS program has been nothing but absolutely wonderful. In my opinion, the greatest thing about studying abroad in a city that is as rich in culture, history, and cheese as Paris is, is that it is completely accessible at all times. Every day that I step out of the metro, I find a different shop with food, a different building with amazing historical significance, or just a kind person in the gardens with a really interesting story. Paris truly allows you the freedom to explore safely, and whole-heartedly. Whether you are into classical music or modern art, not only can you find copious amounts of material in Paris, you can also find an amazing blend of any kind of combination you can think of. From museums, to churches, to music festivals, there is always something to do! AGS only adds to such wonderful city. With amazing professors who are not only interested in their subject material, but in your learning experience, they make sure to incorporate the history and culture around them to enhance your time abroad. The staff encourages integrative learning and offers a wide range of subject material that covers everyone's interests. You are truly taken care of here, from traveling plans to the logistics of studying abroad, there is always someone there for you." Thank you Alyssa for sharing the photos below: |
