I wish I had known...
the university did not make it perfectly clear that it would be impossible to get a job once completing TEFL certification without working papers. they also did not clarify how very very very difficult it is to obtain the right to work in france.

read up on the country you plan on studying in to know basic customs, currency, etc. even basic things like what kind of plug adaptor to bring to be able to plug in electric appliances - this is all helpful to know ahead of time.

A good neighborhood to live in in Paris. I also wish I had studied my French a bit harder

AUP is wonderful academically. It's in an upper class neighborhood so there isn't much to do around the school, but transit is wonderful in Paris. Only thing is it's very small so it can be quite cliquey. And it's very easy to avoid speaking French.

AUP rocks. Go there. Paris rocks. Go there. And from Paris you can get anywhere in Europe when it comes time for vacationing.

Personally, I had most of my social life outside the university with friends from France. However, what was good, was the diversity in the cultural background of the student. really an international environment.

Enjoy that you are in the middle of Europe and take the time to see the country and if you have the chance, other parts of Europe.
Take time to get to know the city and the people, not just hang around campus and with the students but explore different sides of the city. It has so much to offer!

I wish I had studied another language besides French so I could talk with more people at AUP in their native language.

Recruit more boys! The school is very heavily girl-populated.

The school is small and homey. Take advantage of the seminars and conferences that are held here. There's some awesome speakers that get invited. Jane Goodall came last year, for example. Also, read some of the student journals like Scripta, Convergence, etc. It's really interesting to see different points of view from an international perspective.

Overall, I like the challenge of studying abroad. It makes you more independent, self confident, if you decide to embrace the opportunity. It becomes what you make it to.

You're responsible for yourself here! the university does hardly anything for students, there's no student union building, everything is organized independently...it's hard when the campus is spread all over the neighborhood, with OLD buildings!!
