WHAT FRENCH GRADUATES ARE DOING NOW!

French Student in France "My French studies have helped me by providing me with the opportunity to live and work in France. Living in France helped me to grow in so many ways professionally and personally. I now teach high school French in Charlotte, N.C. Studying French has enriched my life!” M, 2010
French Female Student "My French studies have helped me advance in my career in myriad ways. In almost every film I have been in, or worked on someone in the crew or actor has been to France, studied French, or is from France. In that sense having French in my arsenal has been invaluable in the most simple form of striking up conversation and making a connection with someone. My experience studying abroad, and doing an internship with ABB Reportages forced me to step outside my comfort level...It's the only way to get your foot in the door in this business and now I am pretty much fearless because of my experience in Dijon." GiGi
Girl standing on rocks "Studying French has opened a new world for me. Living and working in France, I have the opportunity to wake up every morning and discover something new: a new food, a new friend, a new place, a new word, or a new experience. Everything has the possibility to change the way I think of the world and myself." J, 2009

"Living in Nantes has done so much more for my French than I could have ever imagined.  Learning from a book is one thing, but when you go to the Sunday market to buy vegetables, or get asked directions to the chateaux and are are only able to communicate in French, you learn so much more. I have formed amazing friendships and met incredible people from every continent and completely different cultures. Through this multicultural experience, I have gained so much more than friends and amazing stories.  This trip has given me insight into the world outside of the United States which has surprisingly been more rewarding than walking through the streets at Le Mont Saint Michel or eating lunch in the gardens of Versailles.  It has been the best time of my life," Joseph, 2011
