Where We Traveled

50% 40% 10%

France

Most of our time was spent

here going to classes and

visiting beautiful

landscapes.

Southern Europe

On the open weekends, we

traveled to Spain, Italy, and

Nice.

Northern Europe

After the program, my

group is traveling to

London to spend 5 days in

the UK before we head

back home.

5 Places in 5 Weeks

Albeit we visited four countries, I never felt the need to cram any experiences in.

After all, there should always be a reason to come back to Europe!

Week ends!

Week ends!

Takeoff!

When considering cost …… look for:

• Where is the program? Aix-en-Provence, France, minutes from

the French Riviera.

• Am I going to be overwhelmed by coursework to the point it

would interfere with my cultural experience? Only one class!

• What is the program duration? Five weeks.

• Are technical/cultural visits included? Yes.

• Where am I going to be sleeping? Good and comfortable

accommodation.

• What if I have a medical emergency or need to go to the

doctor? Is there on-site support? Yes.

Why did I move the program from

Spain to France?

• Lower cost: $3,500 instead of $5,500. Making the effort further lower it to $3000 ... no promises.

• Better location.

• ENSAM, our host French university, is an strategic partnerof TAMU’s College of Engineering.
