Opportunity for personal growth

I'd be pretty likely to recommend the summer abroad program because it is a once in a lifetime experience that offers so much room for personal growth. The language programs may not be for everyone, but the opportunity to travel alone and be independent at a young age is so important should you decide to go.

Amazing teacher!

I would be likely to recommend it because I learned a lot in class. I really enjoyed class everyday with my teacher Chloé, who was able to balance the class between fun things and more serious things. I also think the cultural activities we did were really cool and showed off cool parts of Rennes. My host family is very nice, but I just wished they talked more. My only real problem is I just wish there were more activities and less free time.
