"I had a fantastic
time in Nice!! I met great people, the teachers were phenomenal,
and my grasp of the French language improved drastically.
Everyone was great! I loved my host family! I hope to
stay in touch with them in the future and any student
that gets to stay with them is extremely lucky. The location
was very central and the atmosphere was relaxed and fun.
I learned and laughed a lot. The teachers made learning
fun and really challenged me to speak better French."
Future Advice: "First of all, I would say definitely do
it. However, they also need to be prepared to live in
a different country and culture and understand that it's
not going to be easy to learn a new language. You need
to give it time and realize that you're going to have
bad days, as well as, good."

"I had a wonderful
time studying French in Nice, and the entire experience
really exceeded my expectations. The courses were challenging
and effectively taught, and I was amazed at how much I
learned in only weeks. The school organized many interesting
excursions and opportunities for socializing in the evenings,
and I made new friends from all over the world. Highly
recommended to anyone! The apartment was centrally located
and only a five-minute walk to the school. It was surprisingly
spacious and clean. I thought that the school was excellent,
with great facilities and a very dedicated and friendly
staff. My teacher was excellent, the class size small,
and I really felt that I got a lot of individualized attention.
There was a lot of camaraderie between the students, due
to the afternoon and evening activities that were planned
by the school."
Future Advice: "Do it! Just go in with an open mind and
a willingness to try new things."
Peter Salon
"The language instructors,
the host family, and the location were great! I only spent
a month in country; however, due to the homestay option
I was able to truly immerse myself in the language. The
people at the school were very friendly and really made
excellent attempts at providing activities to foster friendships
and cultural immersion." Future Advice: "Sign up as early
as possible if you want to get a good homestay option.
The school determines the location by the date that you
sign up. Thus, the best locations go early."
Christine Tierney
"I don't think I could have
had a better host. Danielle was fun and helped us learn
French. My room was comfortable and the location was perfect
for seeing the city, being near the water, and certainly
for walking to school and taking the train, which we did
a lot of, even on our own. The after school activities
were the best!"
Future Advice: DO IT NOW! I can't wait to be able to retire
and do it for six months at a time."
Shannon Cooper
"My host family was amazing
- patient with my language skills, fun to be around, and
the food was awesome. The school was also great - friendly
instructors, fun classrooms and the other students became
good friends. If you're in doubt about learning French
in Nice, don't be. You're gonna love it!"
Chantel Snow
"It was a wonderful experience.
I had the best roommates and met lots of new friends.
The excursions were excellent. It's a great way to meet
fellow students participating in the program. I met people
from all over the world. Truly, this has provided the
best cultural experience in my life."
P. Lara USA
"The French program in Nice
was GREAT!!!!!! I could not have been happier about the
city, culture, the people, the accommodation, and the
great school. Both the director and the professors were
of great help. I loved the whole immersion experience.
I would definitely go back in a heartbeat. It is a great
place for beginners to experience the French language.
The excursions where also great and they gave us the opportunity
to experience all of the Cote d'azur or French Riviera.
I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. I will
also gladly go back with a program like this!"
Tinkeke Keesmatt Canada
"Excellent teachers and
great class sizes. My host family was a good distance
from the school and my host mother was great. The three
best aspects of this program were meeting people from
around the world, attempting to speak French, and the
location of the school."
Jennifer Berka USA
"I had such a wonderful
experience while doing my language abroad program. I was
in Nice for four weeks and stayed with the most wonderful
host family. I also did some traveling after my program
ended and just had the best time. Thank you for having
such a great program which allowed me a wonderful introduction
to the culture of France and all the new friends I made."
Becky Quach USA
"The experience of
living in a foreign country and meeting other international
students is absolutely amazing. It is truly a great experience
even if you do not need to learn the language. I chose
this program for an extended vacation even though I knew
close to nothing of the language. It was so nice to meet
so many other students. My roommates were mostly Europeans."
Seana Toomey
"My professor was great
- very knowledgeable, patient, and fun. My class size
was about 12 people - we had a great time together. I
learned a lot about the culture and other aspects of French
life that wasn't taught in my high school/college."
