Advice for students thinking about coming to AUP or going abroad for college

Take time to study and make the most of the academic knowledge you will acquire, but don't forget to enjoy and explore. A new country has a lot to offer, and learning about a new culture allows us to be more understanding of the differences and similarities we share. Allow yourself to look beyond stereotypes. Although living in another country may seem challenging at first, it will prove deeply enriching in the long run.

Favorite day trip from Paris

Rouen - apart from the stunning cathedral, it's full of history and you will definitely enjoy walking and discovering its beautiful medieval streets. Even if the city is not too big, I would still suggest taking a walking tour as there's a lot to learn from this lovely place.
