Would you recommend this summer programme?

Yes! You meet friends for life, immerse in a different culture and do something useful with your big long summer!

What activities were organised by your programme? Did one in particular stand out as your favourite?

We got to go rafting, which was organised by the University, it was the funniest thing ever as we were terrible at it, but it was a really fun experience.

Did you have the opportunity to travel elsewhere on your summer programme?

We went to Bayonne, Biarritz, San Sebastián and Lourdes all in the 4 weeks, then after the program was finished I got the train to Brussels and met my friend there. We definitely made the most out of the time we were there for.

How has this summer programme impacted your life?

For me, the summer programme has set me up for my semester abroad which I am on just now. I would have definitely been more nervous to come here if I hadn't done my summer program, it was so easy to meet people and have friends in France, so I knew it would be the same here. I also really refreshed my French which was nice as I felt as though I wasn't wasting my summer doing nothing.

How has this summer programme improved your French?

We had French classes everyday, and even though I was a beginner at the start being around French people all the time, going to the shops, the pub or just anywhere you have no other option than to speak French, which is amazing as you practice all the time.
