Finding myself in the French Alpes
by: ANSLEY BARRY - United StatesProgram: API: Experience Grenoble, France (Scholarships Available)“I spent the spring of my sophomore year (Spring 2024) studying in Grenoble, France through API, and it was one of the most incredible experiences of my life!

I have wanted to study abroad for as long as I can remember. When I went on a trip to Colorado to visit a friend, her roommates just returned from abroad, and after hearing about their experiences, I knew I had to go as well.

What inspired you to travel abroad?
In our opinion, what makes a great study abroad program is the value of the program… not only the economic value of the program (what you get for the price), but the academic and cultural value added. Our goal is to develop international experiences that highlight top academics and amazing cultural opportunities - all at a competitive price point.
