I have always wanted to study abroad, especially in France. The USC Paris program allowed me to fulfill major requirements and stay in Paris for an entire year while still graduating on time.

One of my favorite memories from my abroad experience was when it snowed in Paris in November of 2024. After class, my friends and I went to a Christmas market at the Tuileries Garden and bought our families small handmade gifts.

I would say if you can go abroad, you have to. The experience is one that you will most likely never get again in your life, and you will make so many new friends, and learn countless things not only about the world, but yourself.
