You are here
You know what it’s like to fall in love—but Paris won’t break your heart.
You’ll want to spend all of your time admiring cultural icons like the Eiffel Tower and getting lost in the city’s exquisite art scene while studying abroad in Paris. On an average day you might savor the decadent French cuisine at a local restaurant and take a walk along the River Seine and wander aimlessly through the city streets for hours.
When you study abroad in Paris, every day is magnifique, and it’s all in the name of love. Je t’aime, Paris!

Joy in the Midst of Disaster
It's official, I have been in Paris for a month now and it has truly been an adventure. I have faced many obstacles during my short time here but have found joy in every situation.
Studying abroad can be very difficult when you have problems and need to communicate with people back home. Whether it's your phone plan or the time difference, staying in touch can be a bit frustrating when you have problems that need a quick resolution.
Life waits for no one
Hello, my name is Christella, I was born in Cap-Haitien, Haiti. I am a Vocal Music major at Berea College and will be in Paris this semester as I continue to study music.
I spent the past weekend on my college campus saying goodbye to my friends. They started school Aug 21 but I don't leave the country until Sep 1. While on campus, I saw so many new faces, faces I wouldn't get a chance to meet until January.
"Tell Me Everything!"
Now that I have completed my summer internship abroad and am back home meeting with friends and family, everyone is asking to hear everything about my experience. However, it’s difficult to know exactly what aspects of my summer to focus on, especially when I'm trying to fit the whole experience in about a minute of conversation. I imagine many others have had a similar experience after studying abroad or completing an internship in a different country.
A Summer Abroad
I've made it back to the United States and am starting to reflect on my past two months in Europe. I feel incredibly lucky to have been able to take this journey and learn about other cultures, while also learning a lot about myself. I also met fifteen other amazing people from across the United States. We were adapting to new cultures while also learning about each other.
