How I fell in love with Paris!

Paris is often romanticized, and I wanted to study there to learn more about the language and culture! All of the rumors were true, and it is a city of love, cafes, and music! I really wanted to immerse myself in the life of a Parisian, so I thought a summer internship would be great, as I would work and then have my afternoons and weekends as if I were living there in my 30s. The internship itself was catered specifically to what I am studying in the US, psychology, giving me hands-on experience in a field that is hard to do so. This built up my resume immensely, but that was certainly not the highlight compared to all the museums, architecture, and food the city had to offer! I really got to be my own person there, form my own life, build good habits, and explore! If you're looking to be immersed in a culture, and truly feel what it is like to LIVE there, and not just visit (which is lovely too), then I would recommend this program for you. You were prepared for the program with lots of presentations and packets. Had a welcome weekend helping you figure out the city, the transportation, and your internship. With it all organized for you. I did not have to find my own apartment, buy my own tram pass, or find where I wanted to work. I got options, but having it sorted out by people who live in Paris made me have a very French experience.
