Practice French at NYU Paris

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.

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.
