“Studying abroad in Paris gave me the confidence to set out on my own and explore the world around me. The challenge of becoming fluent in a different language gave me the strength to face many new experiences while abroad. It was also an amazing supplement to my French minor and an experience I would recommend to anyone studying a language as part of their degree. ” – Nora Landis-Shack ’13
