Why did you decide to study abroad with Summerfuel in Nice, France?
Nikki: I decided to study abroad with ASA Summerfuel in Nice because the program appealed to me culturally, socially, and academically.
What made your study abroad experience unique and special?
Nikki: This study abroad experience was by far the best experience of my entire life. I experienced the French culture through food, music, art, and sport. I was truly immersed in French culture, and I never wanted to leave. The environment is truly the most beautiful place which I had ever been to. The aquatic landscape made it possible for me and my friends to do tons of activities and relax on the beach.
How has this experience impacted your future?
Nikki: This experience has changed me for the better. I have learned to be more independent, and how to not be afraid to speak up. I became more outgoing, and have benefited from becoming more outgoing. Academically, I have improved drastically in French reading, writing, listening, and speaking because of my real-world training.
The friends which I made in Nice are ones that I talk to every day, and they are some of my closest friends. Before the trip, I was completely apprehensive about going, but once I got there, I was so happy that I forgot why I had been nervous in the first place. There is not a day when I do not think about Nice and how it has benefited me.
