I really enjoyed having the opportunity to study abroad. I really liked the field trips we took, especially the ones to Mt. Saint Michel and Carteret Beach. Art trips every Tuesday were also quite nice. Adam was an amazing teacher. He has an awesome vibe and he really helped me maximize my creative potential. The energy in the art studio was almost always immaculate and we had a good time.

This is completely unrelated but here’s a movie quote: “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”

This program was an amazing experience into the food and life of the Normandy region in France. Our small group was able to learn from a variety of teachers each skilled in their own craft. Leaning about both the culture and food was able to bring more knowledge than just cooking. There is immense value in the program for what you can learn as well as the cost. Very few things come out of pocket, allowing you to spend money on gifts and other French products you would like to bring home. The staff that I met here were great to talk to and always helpful with any questions.

It was a privilege to attend this program and get to know its coordinators. Such kind people run this program, and you can see how much care they have for each student—past, present, and future. These teachers are dedicated to their craft and very knowledgeable as well. The trips we took were exciting and fully immersed in French culture. Every day was a new adventure, but they also made time for us to hang out and get to know one another. I’d recommend this program to all food lovers, and culture lovers as well!

My experience was wonderful. I got to meet new people and make new friends. I learned so much about the Normandy culture. We were always out and about. I never felt bored. I’ve got to try and do new stuff. I probably would’ve never done back home. It was a very safe environment, and I never felt unsafe. I got along with everyone. I liked that we didn’t have to wake up super Duper early. We never started earlier than 9:00 on those days. I would’ve loved it if we got to try more local restaurants. Thank you!
