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.
