My year in France.

- Homestays were great - each student seemed happy with his/her french family
- Location of Reid Hall in Montparnasse was central & accessible. The center itself was nice.
- The size of the classes was nice, the but professors were sub-par.
- The director did not provide much assistance to the students.
- The program did not do a good job of integrating the second-semester students; and the program did not communicate well with them.
- There were only 3 - 4 excursions, but the program paid for them.
- The individual student did not have enough control over his/her course-load. And there was not an option for more independent work or an independent study, a major short-coming of the program.
- It was not allowed to have an internship while enrolled in this program.
- There weren't many avenues set up (by the program) through which students could interact with real French people.
