Paris and its beauty
Great program! Wonderful professors and great classes. I got to go to all the museums in Paris with my art history class in French and study Parisian architecture with another class.

Program Overview
At NYU Paris, you’ll practice your French language skills while being immersed in French culture. If you’re a beginner, you’ll take courses taught in both French and English. But if you have some knowledge, you’ll take all of your courses in French. Courses include "France and the European Union: Europe in Crisis," "Fundamentals of Machine Learning," and "Writing Paris." NYU’s academic center is in the Latin Quarter, a vibrant neighborhood known for its rich culture, laid-back atmosphere, and intellectual history.
While studying abroad at NYU Paris, the Tandem Language Exchange program helps improve your French by pairing you with a student from a Parisian university. You’ll be introduced through email and then meet online or in person. This program aims to develop your French conversation skills while also helping French students practice their English language skills. You don't just improve your fluency, but you also get the chance to learn more about French life and culture.
Opportunities vary based on local restrictions. Visit the NYU Paris website for up-to-date information.

Not about the academics, but incredible experience
NYU in Paris offers you the option of taking classes at a French university in the city, which sounds pretty cool. I discourage against doing this - it is a hassle to communicate with the French professors in these universities and the grading systems are very different than what is used in the US. The point is to meet other parisian students, but for me this didn't happen. No one was particularly friendly at all, actually. I did enjoy one of my Paris University classes, but it was in english and the professor was from London...stick to the NYU in Paris classes if you can. The quality of the NYU classes is generally good, but most of them are not particularly challenging. NYU in Paris gave me an incredible apartment to live in for the semester in a great location. Most of the students in the program seemed to be very happy with where NYU placed them in the city as well. Overall, I was very impressed with the way NYU dealt with housing in Paris. Overall, NYU in Paris is a very decent program. It was not so demanding that I was able to experience the way of life in Paris without being bogged down by work. Keep in mind that if you choose this program, you are not going to Paris for the academics, you're going for the cultural experience.

My experience in Paris was some of the best few months of my life. The independence of NYUs program was exactly what I was looking for.

AUP is a good place to have a Parisian experience, but only for a semester. After that its annoying and the Admin. becomes too difficult to deal with.
