Welcome to our New Group of Undergraduate Students

AGS just welcomed the new group of undergraduate students who joined the program for a study abroad semester in Paris. After a welcome dinner at a traditional French restaurant, the students enjoyed their first few days discovering what will be their home city for the next four months, and getting introduced to the program and activities. This orientation weekend started with a walk through the AGS neighborhood, which took them to Luxembourg gardens and the historical Montparnasse artists' district. Saturday afternoon was spent doing a guided walking tour of the left bank, focusing on the theme of French Revolution. Sunday was dedicated to a visit of the Eiffel Tower, followed by a tour of the nearby Quai Branly museum, where they saw unique primitive arts collections from the African, Asian, Oceanic, and American civilizations.

Classes started today with the French language courses at AGS's partner school Alliance Française Paris-Ile de France, based on the assessment tests that they took at the end of last week in order for each one to be placed in the course that is best suited to his or her level of French.
