My rewarding study and transformative experiences in France

歐瑞斯Carlos (墨西哥) / BIBA4 (2022-2023)

Sure, I’d be happy to share my experience of studying in France!

Moving to a new country to study can be a daunting task, but it can also be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life.

My time at my French university has been incredible. I’ve had the opportunity to meet people from all over the world and learn about their cultures, which has broadened my perspective in ways I never thought possible. The staff at the university have been very helpful, providing guidance with everything from administrative tasks to finding housing. The professors have been knowledgeable and approachable, and I’ve appreciated their willingness to engage in discussions both in and out of the classroom.

One of the biggest challenges for me was adapting to the French academic system, which emphasizes independent study and research. It was a significant shift from what I was used to in my Taiwanese university, but I soon found that this system allowed for greater flexibility and creativity in my approach to learning. The university also had many resources available to help students succeed, such as libraries, study spaces, and tutoring services.

Outside of academics, France has been an amazing place to live. The rich history, beautiful architecture, and world-renowned cuisine have made every day feel like a new adventure. I’ve had the opportunity to explore different regions of the country, from the bustling streets of Paris to the picturesque vineyards of the Loire Valley. The French people have been warm and welcoming, and I’ve been fortunate to make many friends both in and out of the university.

 

Of course, there have been challenges along the way, such as adjusting to the French language and navigating cultural differences. But overall, the experience of studying in France has been one of the most rewarding and transformative experiences of my life. I am grateful for the opportunity to have studied in this beautiful country and I look forward to what the future holds.
