You will learn so much about other cultures, and your own if you go to AUP. Definitally worth it if you're willing to try something new.

I wish I had known...

That they do not allow you to study in French institutions no matter what your language proficiency, simply because they insist you have two years of american university before entering a French university. That academics are not a priority at all for the majority of students there.

Personal recommendation

I would recommend it to someone who is not eager to encounter real French culture, and would prefer to live in a small American community within Paris that always wants to party.

Paris is a wonderful city to be in. If you can wait the two years to study in a French university (or are not interested at all), go for it. There is no campus which makes it more difficult to connect with people. The professors seem pretty good (at least when I was there). But don't expect the student population to be interested in learning...

“City school made for independent people, easy curriculum.”

Hans H

China, Undergraduate
Business Studies, 2021

Overall

This schools curriculum is easy. Its not made to be a place where you go for a serious job in engineering or anything like it. You go here to study what you want to study, and spend time devoted to expanding your life outside of school as well, perhaps traveling around Europe, or exploring a beautiful city with great food.

Pros

Independence, City centered.

Cons

Average teachers, not so challenging curriculum
