Allison at the top of Sacre Coeur in Paris I've always known I wanted to study abroad in France and become more confident and fluent in my ability to speak French. The study abroad program in Tours not only granted me the opportunity to grow in my language-speaking skills but also allowed me to immerse myself fully in the culture and everyday life of France.

I feel that I've grown immensely as a person and student.

I'm incredibly grateful that MSU has such wonderful study abroad programs; this was the highlight of my undergraduate experience thus far and I'm already making plans to study abroad again in the future.
