Love for Lyon <3
by: Hadja Balde - United StatesProgram: USAC FRANCE: Lyon - French Language & European StudiesGoing to Lyon has been one of the best experiences of my entire life! I have met so many amazing people worldwide that I am thankfully still in contact with a few months after my study abroad trip. It was easy to make than the level I was in.

Partly because I part in the effort to learn, partly because the classes were so helpful, ...
The time of my life
by: Ben Harrison - United StatesProgram: USAC FRANCE: Lyon - French Language & European StudiesI will not lie, I was worried before I went abroad. Some of the readings made me think we were gonna be reigned in and policed in our time abroad. Nothing could have been further from the truth.

Stefano and Olga do such a good job organizing, supporting and helping students and their activities. I cannot say enough good thing about them and the work that they did whic...
The Best Thing I've Ever Done!

You won't regret the chance to learn, grow, and make...
