Best Summer Ever!
by: Mariah Rohrbach - United StatesProgram: The Experiment: France: Cultural DiscoveryWe spent 5 amazing days in Paris exploring the city. Then we moved on to our home stays than occurred in Nancy and got to experience normal day to day lives in France. Then moving to Colmar to experience 2 days in a border city with Germany. To end it we spent the last 3 days in Germany. In the end I would say that this experience was an amazing way to get a great cultural experience and I’m so glad that I got to do it.
It was alright
by: Kariya Celestin - United StatesProgram: The Experiment: France: Cultural DiscoveryI liked the experience and the opportunity to go to France and see all the famous things I've always wanted to see.

Because of that, I became a victim of it and I got my phone stolen by a random person during the first few days of the trip while...
Amazing time learning about France
by: Noel Maldonado - United StatesProgram: The Experiment: France: Cultural DiscoveryAttending The Experiment trip gave me a good sense of the reality in a different country. I got to meet my groupmates, my host family, and even random people who became friends. My group mates were really good and fun. My host family was amazing. I got to see how the typical small town in France is and I met their family members. Switzerland was very cool. Everything was expensive, but the town was very beautiful and right on the lake.
