An incredible and impactful experience

Getting the opportunity to live and work in a city like Paris is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Exposure to rich culture, learning to navigate a foreign city, finding new sources of inspiration, gaining work experience, and living outside your comfort zone - the benefits of this program go on. For me, being able to live independently in a new city was an incredible personal growth opportunity that I can honestly say made a huge impact on my life (as corny as that sounds!).

I had an internship in the Fashion industry and through this I gained first hand experience with the behind the scenes perspective of events and publicity. Interacting with people from all over the world was often one of the biggest challenges, but also one of the greatest rewards. I also believe my confidence grew significantly through my internship, as I made real-world decisions, collaborated on projects, gained feedback and felt a sense of accomplishment after a long day – things the classroom doesn't prepare you for.

I feel lucky I got to live and work in Paris and absolutely recommend this program to anyone looking to grow personally and professionally!
