France Programs Student Testimonials

Below you will find testimonials and quotes from students who have attended our France study abroad programs.



Sneha Allu
George Mason University, VA

"I gained a unique foreign experience which gave me abroad global perspective. I learned cross cultural communication while taking responsibility and being independent. Developed skill set which included networking, problem solving and foreign language skills. There was an enormous increase in the levels of maturity and adaptability."



Ashley S.
University of South Florida
Summer in Paris: French Language

"I would recommend this program to anyone interested in studying abroad. The experience of traveling to another country and studying the culture and society first hand is the best way of learning. This specific program provides wonderful attention to detail, extracurricular activities and prime housing. Our leader Karl was always organized, informative and available if needed. Paris specifically is such a fun city to study abroad in because it contains so many different aspects to explore such as the museums, musical theatres, fashion, and monuments. This was an experience I will never forget."



Morgan A.
San Joaquin Delta College
Summer in Paris: French Language

"I really enjoyed having my study abroad in Paris. It was absolutely brilliant. The program, Global Learning Semesters, was so supportive. They treated us like family and they wanted us to be completely comfortable with being in a foreign country. I would definitely do another study abroad program with Global Learning Semesters."



Miroslava K.
University of California Santa Barbara
Semester in Paris: International Business

"This experience has been the best one of my life. Paris is the most incredible city and I am so excited that you get to discover it for yourselves. Walk around and get lost, people watch and get as much time out of this as you can. Five months flew by so I can only imagine what the summer will be like. This city has so much to offer that I know in my time here I still probably have not seen it all. I wish you all the best and i hope that your experience will mean to you what it has to me."



Jose R.
Florida International University
Semester in Paris: French Language

"GLS is the way to go. I loved the fact that they offer apartments as primary housing (at least in Paris) as opposed to other companies that only offer dorms or homestays. I felt independent the entire time and enjoyed all group excursions. I would do another study abroad with GLS all over again. They know what they're doing. Things that sometimes may not work, or get complicated, arise because of the fact that you're in an entirely different country that is simply not the U.S."



Rachel B.
Georgia State University
Semester in Paris: French Language

"The time sure flies when you live in the most beautiful city in the world! This experience was more than I could have ever asked for. I learned so much about an amazing city, lifestyle, culture and most of all about myself. The memories I have made here will stay with me a lifetime."



Angela W.
University of Arizona
Semester in Paris: French Language

"My experience with GLS was nothing less than amazing! I got to live with two fabulous girls in a great apartment right in the middle of the city! The best part about the program was being able to do your own thing, there were planned excursions, but you also had a lot of time to go off and explore on your own without feeling like someone was holding your hand the whole time! I loved everything from the apartment to the trips to Nice and Monaco."



Lauren B.
University of Florida
Summer in Paris: French Language

"The GLS Summer in Paris offered me more than I ever could have expected: incredible living arrangements, easy access to the city’s hot-spots, guided tours of the area & local sights and more. They made the transition to a foreign country so much easier. The individualized attention that GLS provides is beyond anything I ever expected! I enjoyed every minute of the experience from before I left the states until the program ended. Salut Karl! Thanks for everything! This was one of the best summers of my life, I truly had an amazing time!! Best of luck with everything!"



Teresa R.
University of North Florida
Summer in Paris: French Language & Semester in Europe

"During my other GLS program in Europe we'd visited Paris and I loved it so much I added the GLS Paris Summer Program and I wish I could spend a whole year here. There is so much to see and do a whole year wouldn’t be enough time to experience it all. Paris, the people, the places, the experience of a lifetime. Amazing accommodations, our own Swiss chalet right in St. Germaine quarter. Everything is within walking distance, the park, the grocery store, the pub."



Abby B.
Pennsylvania State University
Summer in Paris: French Language

"The GLS Summer in Paris was the perfect blend of French culture and fun. This summer I discovered Paris, and it truly became my second hometown. I thoroughly enjoyed my summer in Paris the experiences were some that I will take with me for a lifetime."



Austin G.
Junior University of Miami
Summer in Paris: French Language

"The classes at the Sorbonne are great for several reasons. The students come from all over the world and are all eager to learn and make friends. The students in your class are around the same level as you and so there is no reason to be feel that you know less than the rest or that you are too far advanced and therefore won't improve. The teaching in the class is practical and good. The teachers ensure class participation and speak of French culture and history at the same time as teaching grammar and other skills."
